How does accessing PHP scripts through a local editor using file:// differ from accessing them through a web server using http://?

When accessing PHP scripts through a local editor using file://, the PHP code will not be executed because it is not being processed by a server. To solve this issue, you need to run the PHP script through a web server using http://, which will properly interpret and execute the PHP code. 

// Example PHP script that needs to be accessed through a web server
<?php
echo "Hello, World!";
?>
