RE: [PHP] php newby, urgent help

Hi Jack, Yeah that wont be a problem, alhtough there could some issues with the configuration on the web host as opposed to your local configuration. I used to develop PHP under Win98 but i used Apache, its was painful process. NT 4 workstation or Win 2k Pro would be better if you hell bent on developeing under windows. I have an NT4 workstation(mainly for dreamweaver & homsite) and linux box. I run PHP/MySQL on both and have had no major problems with compatability. I do find it easier to make changes to the PHP cobfiguration under Linux since i only need to recompile PHP to add further support (GD or MCrypt for example). I dont trust MS web servers anymore have had way too much trouble with them, Apache is fairly easy to configure but ya need to read tutorials. There is an excellent Tutorial on PHP4 on webmonkey by Julie Meloni (Author of PHP Essentials - if memeory serves). She details both windows and Unix installs of Apaches and PHP4. The other option would be to Use Omni Httpd Which install PHP for you meaps easier than Apache and less of a nightmare than PWS or IIS.
