Where do I put my php files to have Xampp parse them

Question

I finished installing Ubuntu 10 for netbooks  and XAMPP  The XAMPP website tutorial made it very easy to install  then left me high and dry  Everything works  but I have no idea where to put my handwritten php files   After a few hours of googling  and trying to understand the file explorer  I realized I have no idea where anything is in ubuntu  For an answer  please don t just tell me  go to  X  directory  I won t know how to navigate there    I also did a file search for htdocs with no luck

in XAMPP the default root is  htdocs  inside the XAMPP folder  if you followed the instructions on the xampp homepage it would be   opt lampp htdocs

When in a window  go to GO ---  ENTER LOCATION    And then copy paste this   opt lampp htdocs  Now you are at the htdocs folder  Then you can add your files there  or in a  new folder inside this one  for example  myproyects  folder and inside it your files    and then from a navigator you access it by writting  localhost myproyects nameofthefile php  What I did to find it easily everytime  was right click on  myproyects  folder and  Make link        then I moved this link I created to the Desktop and then I didn t have to go anymore to the htdocs  but just enter the folder I created in my Desktop   Hope it helps

Look into the httpd conf and or httpd-vhosts conf files and search for the DocumentRoot entry  If you configure multiple virtual hosts  there may be more than one of those  separated in  lt VirtualHost gt  tags
