Test PHP locally!

[evildrummer]

Is there a way of testing PHP files locally, if so could you please post the software and a link to how to install/use or explain yourself, Thanks in advance :D

[Jeff Wheeler]

Yes, just run Apache on your own computer, and install Apache on it… there are lots of prepackaged things, such as XAMPP.

Download wamp.. it's setup in 5 minutes and very simple to use! I didn't even have to read the guide it was so straight forward! =)

Comes with everything you'll need to test PHP including mySQL

[evildrummer]

ok Ill try out both :D Ive heard of Appache before so ill try that first

[Jeff Wheeler]

WAMP includes Apache (it's the ‘A’, but comes with other stuff, too). It's for people who aren't 1337 enough to install Apache and etc themselves. :P

I assume it's really easy, though… I've never used it.

[evildrummer]

WAMP it is then because I am lazy :D

[Jeff Wheeler]

Thought so… ;)

[evildrummer]

Thought so… ;)

Is there anything wrong with being lazy?

[Jeff Wheeler]

No, that's why they make WAMP. Personally, I like installing everything by itself, though. :)

Yeah but just finding the seperate files on the intenet would make it too long for me who has to get it done in the next 1 hour.

[Jeff Wheeler]

Yeah, I completely understand.

[evildrummer]

Yeah, I completely understand.

Thanks everyone! WAMP is working now.... I think,
<?
phpinfo();
?> worked so I guess everything did :D

Oh darn too late, I was going to suggest Xampp http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

If you're on a Mac, MAMP is pretty good. But you're not...but in case you ever were....
