182x Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hey guys, I am trying to setup PHP, mysql, phpmyadmin and apache for a project I am working on however I am having a really difficult time getting these to work properly in Vista. I was just wondering would you recommend I use a package such as WAMP or XAMPP or is it best trying to get all these to work on their own? Thanks.

simcoweb Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Use either of those. I use XAMPP but on XP. Make sure their version is up to date for Vista. It has all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuhtzu Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yup, a package containing PHP, MySQL and Apache is definitely the way to go. I use XAMPP my self on XP and it works great and has all the features I need. When you decide you wanna invest time in learning how to setup a database / web server do it on a linux/unix/*bsd machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I prefer the individual approach - once you know how to do it then maintenance is considerably simpler. Upgrading is straight forward - downgrading (for what ever reaosn) is just as simple plus you get a feel for how things are installed generally which can help you solve issue that may seem unrelated.

182x Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Thanks for the replaies guys. I downloaded Xampp to give it a try and so far it work great until a tested a script that involved uploading a file where i get the following error message... Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\test\processUpload.php:4) anyidea what it means or how to fix it?

ToonMariner Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 yep. session_start MUST come BEFORE you output any html or white space - you can get round this by using ob_start and ob_end_flush at the beginning and end of your script respectively.

182x Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hi thanks for your reply, is using ob_start and ob_end_flush a standward way of doing things? and if not what is the best way? Thanks again and sorry for all the noobie questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
