Using Brackets for PHP files


I currently have wampserver running and I'm trying to do live preview of a php file using Brackets.io. However when I click live preview I'm getting

Project settings for: Getting Started
Live preview base URL: ______________

I'm following this tutorial on running PHP scripts. My php file is in C:/wamp/wwww/php_proj1/php1.php so I've been trying to put this in my "Base URL"

http://localhost/php_proj1/php1.php

However everytime when I type that and enter it, it just asks me for the "Live Preview Base URL" again and nothing happens. I also tried putting the URL in my 'File->Project settings' and that also didn't work. I'm just running a basic php script that echos some words.

It works when I manually type

http://localhost/php_proj1/php1.php

in my Chrome URL but not when I use Bracets live preview.

What am I missing or doing wrong? Do I need to config anything in my wampserver? I've just started learning php and using wampserver so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm following these 2 tutorials on doing this and it's just not working for me. tutorial 1 and tutorial 2

EDIT2: Found my mistake.. I did not do File->Open Folder to open the folder that I was working on... Thanks to everyone that helped me with this, I will definitely not make this mistake again. sigh
