I want to be able to preview my PHP pages on my own computer before uploading them onto my website. Is there a way I can download something that will let me do that?

You'll also need to install a webserver, such as: http://httpd.apache.org/

@e-realmzauthorAug 15.2005 — Ok I tried to download PHP and Apache and now im lost in a new world. I don't know how to install any of it. Most of the icons are winamp files. I don't know anything about webservers.

I guess I should just stick to uploading regular html files to my site and converting them there. Thanks anyways.

apache should be the easiest to install, make sure you set the domain to loaclhost or 127.0.0.1

install php is easy but requires have to do it manually, read and follow the install.txt provided with php

run the server: Start > Run - type"X:pathtoapacheapache.exe" -k start

Check the link in my sig down there it is a post that will explain all you need to know for PHP, MySQL, etc... (Resources for PHP and MySQL)
