[PHP] php server on Windows
So I'm thinking about setting up a little php/mysql web server here at work and want to use Windows as my platform instead of Linux and have a couple questions... I know that PHP on Windows has some limitations as compared to Linux. What are these limitations? Which version of Windows would be best ? Is this gonna be a real pain in the ass to get PHP MySQL Apache Windows to get along well? Can I use IIS instead of Apache ? Thanks!

Where did you hear this? If there are any I haven't come across them yet. Which version of Windows would be best ? The most stable version for server use is currently Win2k. Is this gonna be a real pain in the ass to get PHP MySQL Apache Windows to get along well? No. It's like they were made to work together. Can I use IIS instead of Apache ? If you really want to, but I can't think of many reasons why you would want to. Thanks!

Re: [PHP] php server on Windows
Ditto on all that for me. use apache. the instructions on how to get them working together are good as long as you are diligent about reading *every* word. no half-ass instruction following will do. mysql is just as easy to set up, and you have to do *zero* configuration of php to get it working. i've used this comination before, and at the time i had NEVER used php or mysql before, and it all worked together nonetheless. jerome Original Message Follows From: Stuart Dallas [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thursday, June 13, 2002 at 7:54:30 PM, Phil Schwarzmann wrote: I know that PHP on Windows has some limitations as compared to Linux.
