ok how do i install php to...

[Anon]

ok my boss wont let me have php on our server until i can show him some kewl stuff it can do - and i dont know yet cos ive never had chance to play with it yet ...

how can i install php on my workstation so that i can view php files without having to upload them to a php host? i installed the php406-installer.exe and it seems to have made no difference

is this possible? i would have thought so but im not sure....

thx in advance ;)

This worked like a charm for me on Win98 and W2k (allthough you can't beat un*x)

Just write a simple PHP Script something like,

<?
print "hello";
?>

and place it in your servers main directory.

Sure you can do so.
Follow all the information that come with the package or find the installation information from forums, or goto php.net
You can't just install and have your codes running. You need to setup something first and have the apache server running on your computer.
First, uninstall the package and try to get the apache running.
After that, you can use the code :
<?

echo phpinfo();
?>
If this gives you the page that contains all the information about php inside your computer, then it means you're ready to show your boss how cool php is !! :)
