this happens when trying to open a local file using a local server (example: easyPHP): my file is located at:

C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.9\www\myweb\test.php

and my index page has a link to it. The link is generated depending if I am working local or not.

Correct syntax would be - file:///C:/Program Files/EasyPHP-5.3.9/www/mysite/test.php

Open file with Firefox button > New Tab > Open File (or File > Open File on the Menu Bar) to see the correct syntax in the Location/URL bar. CTRL+o (the letter O) will also open the Open File dialog.

You can open that file in Firefox via New Tab > Open File to see the correct path with the file:// protocol (file://localhost/C:/)

Note that Firefox won't allow to open local pages via a direct link, only a relative link to a higher directory is allowed.

I already tried with file://localhost/C:/. it works for html pages but not .php extensions.... shame that Fierefox does not allow local path: it's quite useful for developing websites local (using aliases....) there is no way to do that?

  1. That should be "file:///" with 3 "/" not 2 "/" as you indicate.
  2. Did you try opening using the Open File suggestion above?

Yes I did. sorry I mistyped the url: one / was missing. in my answer. I copied it from the open file.

as I said "open file" works with html files, but not using php files

The only other suggestions that I can find for you; maybe you can adapt them to your situation:

It does not help... shame. I wanted to be the most general as possible, but I reached the limits of the friendship between firefox and easyPhp or wamp. I'll work with hardcoded relative path instead, no wories ;-)
