kobayashi_one Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 People, I want to ask for your help with a simple problem, I want to start learning PHP. However, my browser can't parse local PHP files, I downloaded the PHP.net installation, but still local files remain blank... Could anyone solve this (probably) easy problem? I have windows ME installed, maybe that's the problem... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7200-total-n00b-niets-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for developing websites locally before uploading the to a webserver.Here's the Link [a href=\"http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html\" target=\"_blank\"]Xampp[/a] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7200-total-n00b-niets-help/#findComment-26556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
