trevi Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi, I signed up for a class in PHP recently. The instructor says that a PHP ide or simply notepad can be used to develop php and html files. I've been researching what I need to install on my windows 7 machine and I'm confused. If I use Notepad to create my php and html files, how do I test them on my PC? I thought I could set up a virtual directory and run them from there, but I think I'm still missing something. What else do I need to do? Can you help? Thanks, Trev Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/281544-new-to-phpbasic-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastsol Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 You can use Notepad or even better Notepad++ to write the code and install WAMP to run the code in the browser from your local machine.

0xMatt Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 You need to setup a WAMP server for windows(Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) to execute php files. Good but big wampp server for Windows: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html Haven't used this but it's an alternative: http://www.wampserver.com/en/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/281544-new-to-phpbasic-questions/#findComment-1446679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
