Good morning everyone,
Continuing from the previous post, How to create a symbolic link under htdocs to run our applications from any development environment we want in Windows, I’m going to explain how to run the applications in an external web browser, as by default, it runs internally in Eclipse’s browser.
First of all, once Eclipse is open, go to Windows > Preferences > General and search for “Web Browser”.
To see the result and make sure it works, go to the “index.php” in the root of the application and right-click on Run As > 2 PHP Web Application.
But finally, let’s assume that we haven’t added the browser we want. Here’s what you need to do:
Click on the “New” button and enter the name of the desired browser. Secondly, we need to choose the location of the browser’s executable file, i.e., the .exe file. Click on OK > Apply and Close. Finally, run the application to see that we have configured it correctly.
That’s all, I hope it’s helpful and enjoyable for you.
