New to PHP. Need Help


Recommended Posts

What is S/W?

 

To get started with PHP I encourage you to first install Apache (http server) and PHP. PHP is a server side language so requires a server, thus Apache. php.net has very good documentation for setting up PHP with Apache.

 

Installing Apache and PHP on your computer you can can easily test and run your PHP scripts on your computer. Which allows you to develop offline so you don't need to be connected to the net to test your PHP files on your website.

 

If you are going to be developing a web application that requires some form of database then I recommend installing MySQL. MySQL is one of the many database's PHP supports. It's also the most popular database to be used with PHP.
