What webserver for Windows?


Recommended Posts

I want to install a webserver to test PHP code.

What should I use?

I've got WAMP downloaded... I went to install... it requires 2GB. I don't want to waste that amount of space.

What else should I consider? Or is WAMP the best option?

XAMP?

IIS?

Looking for some pointers and starting guidelines.

Thanks.

If you need something simple to test a simple site then you can use PHP's built-in server.

If you need something more complicated then you're going to have to spend disk space to get it. If you don't need a database then you can install Apache/nginx on its own - if you don't mind configuring them yourself.

If you have Windows, IIS should already be installed.

No? But it is available to install - at least in Pro, not sure about Home.
