wildteen88 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 if so how do you use it Do you mean phpdev5? phpdev5 is just a pre-configured package for installing AMP (Apache MySQL and PHP) on Windows. There are many other pre-configured packages out there such as WAMP or XAMPP I prefer to install AMP manually rather than using a pre-configured package.

wildteen88 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well what are you wanting to do? Learn PHP? If all you want to do is learn PHP then install WAMP and away you go. Before using WAMP make sure you have the documentation for it, such how to start/stop/restart WAMP, where to place your php files, how to access/run your scripts. For learning PHP I'd suggest the first place to go is php.net reading the manual (chapters I and III) in order to learn the basics. Then search online for some tutorials, such as sitepoint.com or php-mysql-tutorials.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Where is the link to your website? You might be better of looking into a content management system (CMS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
