Description:
To get php and apache installed use xampp. xampp is free and contains php / apache (around 33mb) 1. Download and Install XAMPP from here: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html 2. on windows go to C:\xampp it should have a folder called htdocs. If you put a file called foo.html into the htdocs folder you should be able to access it by going to http://localhost/foo.html or /foo.php. There's also something called WAMP http://www.wampserver.com/en/ There's a lot of php tutorials out there just search google http://www.google.com/search?hl=enr&q=php%20tutorial Request tutorials here http://youtube.jimmyr.com/ More PHP TUtorials here http://killerphp.com/ Some people have recommended other editors http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html http://www.pspad.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_text_editors http://www.context.cx/ %%programming

Jul 11, 2010 - Cool tutorial. I use XAMPP on my local machine to test things out before I implement them on my production web server. Thanks, Chris

Jul 12, 2010 - The Apache package on Debian has PHP as a dependence (actually most distributions do) so there is no need to use xampp. Perhaps, xampp is more useful for Windows users, but using the proprietary Windows operating system to use Apache is just silly, you should use a Free Software operating system with Apache seeing as -- not only -- is Apache designed for it, but you are also free to make changes to the operating system that you might see necessary. And you just can't do that with Windows or Mac.

Sep 4, 2010 - when i go to htt p://localhost it says firefox cant find the server. i did everything u said to do.

jeffery12108 Says:

Sep 5, 2010 - @caydnlofton go to xampp folder and click control panel, check if a green highlighted box is beside apache saying running, if it isn't the press start. If it blinks start and then says busy do a do a port-check, and check if all ports for apache is free, if it isn't than a program is using a port.
