    Apache for Testing?

    Is it true that you can download Apache to just test your website on without actually using the server software to deploy it to the web?

    Yes, the easiest way I've found, if you're using Windows, is to download XAMPP.

    XAMPP is a complete Apache-MySQL-PHP-Perl server package for all major operating systems. It's the one I recommend to students in my courses.

    note- The latest versions of XAMPP are using PHP 5.3x and you might have to change some of your old code to comply with changes in 5.3, check the archives for older PHP 5.2x versions if you want to avoid snags with old code.
