RE: [PHP] Getting started with PHP

Welcome Steve, You'll need to do two things to get started, download apache and php for windows, and configure 2 files - httpd.conf (apache), and php.ini. A good tutorial can be found here : http://softwaredev.earthweb.com/script/article/0,,12014_912381,00.html After that create a .php file in apache's /htdocs dir (which is where you will put your pages), the file should look like this: <? phpinfo(); ?> This will show you all of php's configuration settings. From there the world is your oyster ;) HTH, Steve. -----Original Message----- From: Sauron [mailto:stevea@centurion-ms.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 12:53 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Getting started with PHP Hi all I am brand new to PHP, I have a friend that develops in it and I'm interested in learning more about it. I am familiar with VB at the moment and that's about it, but I'm always willing to learn!! What do I need to get developing using PHP? I want to develop completely on my machine rather than upload files to a web server. I have W2K installed. Any help is much appreciated, Regards, Steve. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
