If the web server I’m going to be ftping to is running php 4.4.4 and mySQL 4.0.21 can I use newer versions to develope locally? Will it all work when I ftp the files?

Most of it will run, but the commands that are new in the latest php version wont.

The older version will just not recognize them ...

Important: Some functions exist in various versions but do things differently. Make sure that you take that into consideration as well.

Another question.

I've installed Apache on my PC that's running Windows XP. That seems to be running okay.

Then I installed php. The installation dialogue said that it installed, but when I go into Dreamweaver and create a new site with .php files and try to preview them in a browser I get errors.

I'm following directions from a book called--Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP Training from the Source. This book has been very helpfull to me in the past. [I was able to configure a ColdFusion/mySQL environment on my Mac at home using this book.]

I think something is going wrong with Apache and PHP trying to talk to eachother.

Deadline for php/mySQL site looming-starting to panick. Can anyone help me?

Success!
