http://www.php.net/downloads.php for the PHP. If you are going to eventually use a server, then you need to check what version of PHP is on the server. If it is PHP5, then get PHP 5.0.4 zip package [7,488Kb] - 31 Mar 2005 If it is PHP4, then get PHP 4.3.11 zip package [7,289Kb] - 31 Mar 2005 both from the above page. Just download, unzip, and install. Simpler than writing the code (;-> You will probably also want MySQL - if not now, then soon. http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.0.html Windows downloads is quite a long way down the page, get Windows (x86) 4.0.24 25.1M I can't remember PWS (used to use it for ASP before I Saw The Light), but I had no issues installing both the above on Windows XP and Windows 95 -- Pete Clark http://www.hotcosta.com http://www.spanishholidaybookings.com Community email addresses: Post message: [email protected] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Shortcut URL to this page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/php-list Yahoo!
