install

Hi. I heard so much nice things about PHP and I am very eager to learn. Currently, the web server here at work doesn't support PHP. Where can I get something to install in my Win 2000 pro enviroment to run PHP? I want to program something to show the web guy that enabling PHP is a good thing. Thanks

To demonstrate PHP, you'll ideally need 2 things:

1. A webserver of some nature for your PC(Apache, IIS, Omni,Xitami etc) that supports server modules / CGI (depending on how you want to run PHP. Module based is much better. A discussion is available at: http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/archives/2/2001/1/4/121481)

2. PHP for your platform. It's available at http://www.php.net (Or a local mirror such as http://us4.php.net).

There are plenty of tutorials available on this and other sites for installation, coding etc.

Give it a go, it is easy to get up and running :-)

Good luck.
