daryl_php_user Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I am a first time user of PHP, MySQL, And Apache. But I am very familiar with Dreamweaver and HTML and I like making web pages, but I figured I need to take my web page making skills to another level. So with that in mind I wanted to learn how to use PHP, MySQL and Apache. Lets just say I'm not having any luck with it. I have finally configued my machine (PC,windows) and got the localhost to work(which is the "It Works" page for index). But from there I can't get anyother php examples to work. What am I doing wrong? Please Help? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/162565-first-time-user/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellReal Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 do you have php installed? did you set php to your system environment variables? I recommend for your first time, or anytime, to install xamp, it is really good and installs mysql, php, and apache all @ the same time. also you will need to forward your ports, you'd probably not want to use the standard port 80, as that could interfere w ith your incoming and outgoing internet activity, since most activity is on port 80, some ppl go with port 800 or sumfin so that its wayyyy out there lol. this post will probably be moved to installation, but, I tutor php, but I only use MSN so if you have MSN and want to get some examples to work on or anything, feel free to add me, I don't charge to help, and its always good to build a network..
