No one has really addressed the primary question: Why doesn't php code get

viewed in a browser with http://localhost/~username/file.path?
It seems to me that executing php code is a province of the apache server I
am running; BBEdit knows nothing about php. So, although I find this
inconvenient, it makes perfect sense to me, and I just save the file, switch
to the browser, and refresh...I wish it could be easier.
It is. :-)
Go to Preferences --> HTML Websites. Click the 'Add' button to make a
new website project, and set the 'local site root' to the directory
where your files are on your hard drive. You'll see, at the bottom, 'Use
local preview server'. If you check that box and set it to
http://localhost/, it will run your files through your local Apache
installation, parsing the PHP (since your local Apache seems configured
to parse PHP already) before displaying the result in BBEdit's preview
window. AND the live updating still works, which is tres cool.
