Greenie Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hey all,I'm trying to teach myself PHP but all of the installation tutorials I've come across have only been for windows XP Professional. What must I do to get it to work on Home Edition?Thanks,Greenie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yes you can install it on Windows XP Home Edition, I have it. The other tutorials are most probably intalling PHP on IIS. IIS is a web server by Microsoft which come with Windows XP Pro/Windows Server editions.If you want a webserver which you will, unless your are running your PHP scripts via the command line. Then download and install Apache. Apache is free to use and download from http://httpd.apache.orgTO install PHP just go to php.net and download the Zipped Binaries (NOT the installer!).For installing Apache and PHP have a read [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,108327.msg435982.html#msg435982]of this thread[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
