Hi, I have a question, I've been looking for PHP for linux, and I found out that I would be able to install it with the command

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

Now I'm trying to find an icon or something to click to in order to open it, but I can't find one. Where does it go when you install it, how can I access it?? I would appreciate some help here. (I'm new with linux)

Thanks

PHP is usually installed on webservers and it just sits in the background working, allowing you to execute PHP code. There is no particular icon to click for it.

Depending what you wanted to achieve with php.

You can write the code in any editor, even the basic Gedit has color coding when typing php/html/cpp, etc.
