Two ways for you: 1. invest $200 (as you mentioned) in a little test server. Set there Samba (samba.org) and simply save.file-refresh.browser
2. install FoxServ or PHPTriad or something else. Look at the sourceforge.net. Or go manually installing the three - Apache, PHP, mySQL on your Win. This is the easiest way. Editors: 1. Look the list archives. 2. Browse the list archives. 3. Search the list archives. 4. If I ever would need to get a list of possible text editors I would Look into, browse and search the archives of this list. 5. well, my idea is Edit Plus. I just love it - Its got all I need.

Apache works on Windows and *nix, or you can try OmniHTTPd or PWS/IIS. PHP is a simple download and follow the install instructions, and MySQL has an installation program, it just takes a minute. ---John Holmes... > -----Original Message----- > From: Pag [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 4:59 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] PHP editing environment > > > Hi, i am new to the list and i am quite impressed with whats going > on over > here.
