nikes90 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I am new to PHP programming. I want to start php programming but I am unable to find the execution environment. I goggled and found that to execute php one should have apache server installed. Can any one give a link which would explain all d step to start working with PHP.

Mchl Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 What OS you want to work on? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/176263-how-to-start-php-coding/#findComment-928933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cags Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 As Mchl says, it would depend on the OS you wish to work on. From my experience, most people (at least those new to development) use an Apache distribution pack such as Wamp, Lamp, Mamp. These are basically installation files that include Apache, MySQL and PHP (which are what most people use). All these installation packages are very similar, except Wamp is for Windows, Lamp for Linux and as you can probably guess Mamp is for Macs. Personally I use Xampp, which I believe has a distribution for all 3 platforms. A google search for any of them should give you download links without much hastle.
