@pyroDec 10.2003 — Do you mean so you can preview your PHP locally? If so, you'll have to set up a testing server. Might I recommend [URL=http://www.apache.org/]Apache[/URL]?

do i need both ?

@pyroDec 10.2003 — Yes, you need the PHP to be able to process PHP, and Apache (a server) to be able to run the PHP interpreter.

@Paul_JrDec 10.2003 — If you are just going to use the server to test your files locally, I found [URL=http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/]Abyss WS[/URL] to be pretty good. It's easy to install and configure. They give you instructions ?.

@Kyleva2204Dec 11.2003 — Yes I myself Use Abyss Webserver. It has been prb the easiest one and with its ease its just like apache! Althou if u dont have any text displaying on a PHP file it says Error: 200 its an annoyance![i]Originally posted by Paul Jr [/i]

Explain, please.

@Kyleva2204Dec 11.2003 — It has a control panel. For everything. You dont have to search in a config file and code everything in u just do a few clicks and it works. But actually I could never get apache working on my computer.... There was this one time but that was without PHP[i]Originally posted by pyro [/i]

@YoNDec 11.2003 — I just followed the readme files and had Apache, PHP and MySQL running the same nigth i downloaded them... It took me some hours to figure out that i was using the wrong module of PHP:rolleyes: (I downloaded Apache2 for testing server). But everything is clearly explained in the documentation, i think.

@pyroDec 11.2003 — I agree with YoN. Those capable of following instructions shouldn't have much trouble installing Apache. Also, Apache is far superiour to Abyss when it comes to quality of the server.
