Does anybody have a good guide/tutorial for setting up local PHP testing
for Windows XP SP2? I would like to be able to test some PHP pages
without having to post them live.
Being completely new to such a task, I was able to set Mac OS X up (at
home) in about 2 minutes by turning on Web Sharing, and using this
information:
http://www.phpmac.com/articles.php?view=225
Anybody know of a tutorial for enabling PHP in Windows XP that is this
simple? I understand that XP is quite different than OS X, but I am
looking for something that is as clear in instruction as the PHPmac
example. I am a long time Mac user, but I have to use a Windows-based PC
at work, so I am at a real disadvantage when it comes to getting XP to do
what I want; in this case, enabling PHP for local testing.
I did check the MS site, but their directions were not all together, or
were not user friendly/easy to follow to a non-Windows XP pro. Perhaps I
just didnt fin the correct page on their site? If this questions is too
vague, I can provide more details (ask away) if it makes supplying the
answer easier.
Thanks a bunch in advance.
