thbsp Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 basically the topic is the complete question. i'm trying to write a simple php script to process a form, but i don't have access to a web server to test it. i installed php 5.2.6, and made sure the install directory was included in the path environment variable (i'm using windows vista). what i would like to do is test the script on my own computer before uploading it anywhere. when i try to open it with a browser i can see the source code, meaning it hasn't been run or processed at all. do i need to install a web server on my own machine to be able to test the code? if so, is there a site anywhere that has a web server emulation script i could use instead?

JonnyThunder Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The really really quick way is to use something like Vertrigo. It is a unified package which installs a web server, PHP, mySQL, PHPAdmin and a couple of other things. You can start and stop the server when you like - and it's easy to configure. Go search google for Vertrigo - I think you'll find it on Sourceforge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
