Laura R (ID: 00000035451b4c50) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/21/2023 No instructions. Doesn't work. Should work like the Preview extension in VC.

L. Aerin (ID: 000000f86931c6da) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/05/2023 I was doing a tutorial where they didn't have this installed (At least not yet) and they just made a php file, a "hello world" echo and refreshed. I was expecting this to reload my page on-save and it didn't work and it had me frustrated because I had the settings right....five-server was working...the addresses in this extension were there.... then I realized that I didn't have the usual skeletal HTML tags in there. As soon as I added those like you would an HTML file, it fired right up. Just mentioning that incase anyone else runs into that. Seems pretty obvious but maybe not if you're down an overthinking rabbit hole.

Go Beyond (ID: 00000042144bec9e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/31/2023 I love it, I would more love it if it is flexible, for example, it doesn't work with "localhost, localhost:5500", thanks for your effort!

Erin Lubiansky (ID: 00000097ecb54a02) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/27/2023 Exactly what I was looking for. I already had my own server running (WP Local) and while that has an addon for reloading, it only monitors CSS files. I'm using the Tailwind framework so I needed something to monitor PHP files as well. I tried several other extensions and this is the only one that worked (and works so fast too!)
