| 431836 | 2006-02-18 08:28:00 | Hi, I want to set up a little testing environment for myself on my local computer so I can test out some PHP code before putting it online because it's a lot faster than writing some code and then having to wait for it to be FTPed before you can test it. I want to have a few database tables and be using some PHP code to interact with them. I know how to do all that, I just want to know how to configure Apache to get the thing to load my page from localhost So far it just puts the code up on the page when I visit that, not the output of the code. I've installed Apache vs 2.0.55 (win32), PHP 4.4.2 for windows which I think has MySQL support, and installed MySQL 5.0.18-win32. I'm running XP Pro and want it all set up on that. Anyone have a clue how to get it to work, or know of an easy to follow tutorial to get this going? Thanks |

| 431838 | 2006-02-18 08:50:00 | I would recommend aiming for PHP5.x and MySQL5.x unless you need legacy support. Also please see my other post about training CDs. There is training CDs for PHP/MySQL. Thank you. |

| 431840 | 2006-02-18 10:37:00 | Just one think to keep in mine is if you make a database under mysql 5.0 & you want to move it to another web host there is a good chance it won’t work well or you will have a lot of issues with restoring it on a web host running mysql 4.0.XX As I have yet to see a web host offer mysql 5.0 hosting accounts & most of them are running mysql 4.0 or 4.1 Hope this helps :) |

| 431841 | 2006-02-18 12:21:00 | you could use WAMP or similar which automates most of the apache + php + mysql process... http://www.en.wampserver.com/ |
