I think you better use XAMPP if you are in learning prorcess.. Either you have to search over the net.

Just use Apache Friends (XAMPP) – it’s an installer that automatically installs apache, php, mysql all in once shot

Hey guys,

You seem to know what you’re doing with all this fancy stuff. I’m doing work experience with a guy from Drawstring (http://drawstring.com.au/), and he’s teaching me how to use PHP. I’m trying to do the whole Apache-PHP combo so that after the week, I can still use PHP stuff without having to use his server.

Only problem is, at the step where you check “index.php” in your browser, it’s not working for me. I’ve followed all the instructions, and the version information for my computer and software is as follows:

Firefox v3.0.10
Apache v2.2.11
PHP 5
XP running SP3

Please help me, as I love PHP and would enjoy continuing my learning after this week, and cannot do so unless I get it working. Thanks.

im new to this so someone please help me. This is what i have done so far-

1) i installed apache 2.2.11-win32
2) installed MySQL Maestro
3) installed PHP5.2.8 msi (i opted for the installer as i couldn’t do it manually, there were so many articles and guides i read and followed without any success that it confused me even more).

Thing is that after installing php i tried the same old testing process by creating a phpinfo.php file and saved it in the htdocs folder. But when i go to localhost\phpinfo.php a window pops up asking me if i want to open or save the file! Infact none of the php files that i created opens :(

please any help would be really appreciated. Im about to give up on learning all this and stick to good ol html :(
