[PHP-WIN] Re: help in installation in PHP

[J Wynia]

PHP is an interpreted language that requires that all code be passed through the interpreter. Since the browser doesn't have a PHP interpreter built in, you need to install a web server in order to see PHP scripts locally. You are able to open HTML files directly with the browser because the browser understands HTML, Javascript and CSS natively.

Once you install a web server (like Apache), you will be able to view your scripts at http://localhost/yourscript.php.

There are several prepackaged PHP/web server toolkits available. Take a look at the listings at hotscripts.com for more information.

Hello,

i have a question about installing and making PHP work with window IE, i
installed the latest PHP application onto a WINDOW XP pro version OS. i am
not even sure i installed it right or not plus i don't know how to get
window IE to recognize the php extension after i made a small script in
php. the WINDOW IE won't read it.

i downloaded the 5 meg zip file and exploded and also i download the
installer. i am very stuck. should i get a book about php, i think i need
to  and i hope the book will help on explaining better than the web site,
but i doubt that.

SIncerely,

christian
