Thanks to all, I've done the settings as stated in my first message. MAMP is set to use its htdocs folder as site root, the server URL is MAMP's preset localhost:8888, "Use local preview server" is checked. My question is merely about having to save the file (ie. create it in the site root folder) before previewing it. If I understand this rightly this is required because the PHP in the file has to be handled via the server (which requires the file to be in it's root folder) when this is not required for the BBEdit built'in HTML interpreter. But then why is it that, once the file exists in the root folder, a "non saved" php modification is updated "live" in the preview ?
