Bansaw Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I am new to php and starting to write my first programs. I have a laptop (my local pc) and I am wondering if there is some kind of php-interpreter available so I can test them out on my local machine without having to upload them to my website? Is there anyway I can avoid having to install a web-sever on my machine? Is there an all-in-one php interpreter? (someone suggested something called Xampp, - is this the best?) thanks,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 There's XAMPP, WAMP (Windows), MAMP (Mac), and LAMP (Linux), and probably a host of others. What these do is install Apache webserver, MySQL server, and PHP for you to save you some of the hassle of installing each individually, and doing the configuration yourself.
