492344 2006-10-18 02:48:00 Apache is a server side application for hosting HTML files that with the right extensions can also serve PHP files. Apache is nothing like Firefox. :) Pete O'Neil (6584)

492346 2006-10-18 04:36:00 Apache is a web server. If you install it, people can then see files (like webpages or file downloads) you want them to see buy pointing their browser at yor computer. Assuming, of course, that they know that your page is there. And that your computer is there, with webpages on it. And that they have a reason to look at your webpage.

If you have a PHP file that outputs an image, and you can get apache + php to work, you can then view that image in a web browser, or save it to your computer. You don't even have to be online.
