    PHP and mySQL locally?

    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.

    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...
    Don't like what I say? Ignore me.
