Hi all,

I'm on a Win XP system right now. Is there a way to simulate PHP scripts and mySQL databases locally? I'm going to try my hands on PHP after so many years using Miva. I know Miva has an app to simulate their script and database locally.

Thanks!

Get phpTriad from SourceForge, great program. You can run PHP/MySQL together, and server it on http://localhost

I just recently installed phpdev. Easy to install and works flawlessly.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to download it right now. ciao..

Dang! PHPTriad doesn't like being installed in any HD that is not C:\. I have my cd drives on c and d.. My HDs are on f and g.

You could also get Apache, php, and mysql installed locally...

I do this for learning php/ mysql programming and I'm actually runnig a LAN site on it.

Hmm.... I might go check this out, it sounds quite interesting...

Nusphere offers some products that you can downloaded for free, it installs apache, php, sql automatically and can run it as a service or run stand alone www.nusphere.com ive used it before on XP, works just fine.... now i use IIS on win2k
