My suggestion would be to go buy a cheapo computer, like a Pentium 75 or something, nothing more than $300. Or probably a computer you have lying around the house. Anyway, install Linux, and PHP and run your own local webserver. That's what I'll be doing pretty soon. I have Win2K and tried getting PHP to work on that, but I guess Win2K has some permission problems when trying to rename and create files in PHP which I do alot of that. Webmonkey has a good tutorial on how to set up a Linux machine. It's not that difficult. Here's a link to the article on Webmonkey. They recommend an old 486 would do, but I'd go with at least a Pentium class. http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/08/index3a.html?tw=backend Jason Bryner -- Focus Design http://www.focusdesigngroup.com
