Setting up PHP

[BeyerCorpuz]

Dear Daniweb:

I am using a book called PHP/MySql for the abs[PHP]Apache[/PHP] olute beginner. It includes a cd
to installl a PHP triad. :p :cool:

Everything goes fine with the install however when I wrote code to
save a a .php the program will not work.

I have installed PHP, MySQl,, and Apache,

I not sure if I should be using a web hosting site or not.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris Beyer

I have written what I think is a good step-by-step HOWTO for newbies to setup a WAMP system. Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP. It includes enough information to download, install, configure, and test the various pieces including 2 test PHP scripts. It is on my website at http://www.troywolf.com/articles
