Mike521 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Is there a way to install PHP on my vista machine simply so I can use it to do syntax checks before uploading my files to the server? Sometimes I do not have the ability or the time to do a good test (upload a test file, check it, then modify the live file). In these instances it would be very useful if I can do a simple syntax check before uploading, to catch a missing comma or semi colon. Is there an easy way to do this? I'm using Dreamweaver CS 3 on Vista Ultimate thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yes you can install what is called the AMP stack so you can fully test your PHP scripts before going live. You can install it manually by installing Apache, PHP and MySQL manually. However you can install a pre-configured package called WAMP which will do it all for you.

corbin Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I installed Apache/PHP/MySQL/MSSQL under Vista in about 10 minutes. It's pretty much just downloading the Windows installers from the websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
