I hope I didn't make my question too vague but what I need is being able to redirect from an index.html page to an login.php page, is that a possibility?

I am using xampp and hosting it locally (the site im making wont go online, just practicing)

Here's the code that I use:

    <ul>
        <li class="selected"><a href="index.html">home</a></li>
        <li><a href="bloemen.html">onze bloemen bekijken></li>
        <li><a href="contact.html">contact</a></li>
        <li><a href="inloggen.php">Login</a></li>       
    </ul>

Oh and sorry if this has been posted before, I haven't found any threads like this and couldn't find anything on Google.

Kind regards,

Tom

there are too many ways to do this. – Funk Forty Niner May 30 '17 at 12:40
Great to hear that! would you mind letting me know an easy way to do this? I have been struggling on this issue for a fair bit. – Tom Kik May 30 '17 at 12:42
Struggling in what way? – Jay Blanchard May 30 '17 at 12:42
whats wrong with what you are doing? Using a link is the way to go. someone click the link and then they goto that page. – user3005775 May 30 '17 at 12:42
Yes, it is possible. `` should do it, what happens when you click that? Does your server have PHP running? – chris85 May 30 '17 at 12:42
When I click on the href I go directly to the script as seen here: http://i.imgur.com/lnlyoUy.png and I do have PHP running – Tom Kik May 30 '17 at 12:43
The source is displayed like that or that is the pages code? – chris85 May 30 '17 at 12:44
if it is not displaying code and not content then PHP is not running on the computer – user3005775 May 30 '17 at 12:44
@user3005775 or the webserver is not configured to run PHP. – sietse85 May 30 '17 at 12:45
@siet, supposedly it is running localhost, so that is why I said computer – user3005775 May 30 '17 at 12:45
What is was trying to say is that PHP could be installed only the webserver configuration does not have the correct settings, like path to PHP binary etc – sietse85 May 30 '17 at 12:46
... or the `.html` file is just being opened in the browser rather than through `http` - so the `.php` page is also being opened through `file:///` – CD001 May 30 '17 at 12:47

Oh nevermind I found out what the issue was.. wow that is even stupid for my doing.. I used file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/index.html instead of going via localhost/index.html.. Thanks everyone for the quick replies! – Tom Kik May 30 '17 at 12:47
