![]() | Web Server.. I want to install a web server on my computer so I can easily practice php coding. I am running WinXP. I tried to download Apache and install but could not get my computer to recognize the files and open them. First Question: Should I be looking at Apache or some other web server? Second : If Apache, what is the trick to getting your computer to recognize the files and open them? Thanks In Advance Okay, I'm off to make pizzas...something I am much better at doing. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html It's a basic package of PHP, MySQL, and Apache with addons for other languages. Just put files in your htdocs directory and you have your own web server to test files on your computer. It's what I use and it works great. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Basically what vip-ip said. On my Windows XP computer it's in C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs. Just put your PHP files in there, let's say: index.php. Go to your web browser and type in http://localhost/index.php and there it is. |
