I have just started to learn about the whole deal of PHP, MySql, and it's connections to front-end development. While doing this I found that I cannot execute a PHP file unless and until it is inside the /var/www/html directory. I have found out about this solution from multiple sources including askubuntu, but I could never find the reason as to why this is so. So does this mean that a PHP file always has to be inside this specific directory? Can I do anything to make a PHP file inside say, my Documents folder to run successfully instead of being "Save"-ad by Mozilla?
Please help.
