Re: installing

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking why you need to upload your php scripts to a server and why can't you see the result on your workstation without the upload? Easy. PHP is a server driven interpreter. You must have the PHP executables installed either on the server or your local workstation. If you go http:\\www.php.net, you will find a win32 installation section. You will also need to have Personal Web Server installed on your workstation. Internet Explorer is not setup to run php by itself. It needs a webserver to do it. If you don't want to use Micrsofts Personal Web Server, you can download the win32 version of Apache at www.apache.org. -----Original Message----- From: peter paauwe <ufo@zeelandnet.nl> To: php maillijst <php-db@lists.php.net> Date: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 1:38 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] installing Hello, Got a major problem with seeing the result of my php scripts without uploading them to a server.
