    Hello @Brian Whipp ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Visual Studio doesn’t directly support php, you need the "PHP Tools for Visual Studio 2022" extension to add php support in VS 2022.

    I checked on my side with the extension and looks like the extension doesn’t provide the support for previewing the single .php file in web browser in VS. I recommend referring to their official documentation and check if previewing the .php file in web browser is supported.

    You may also contact here to double confirm this.

    Best Regards,

    Tianyu
