Re: [PHP] testing on a local server
Well Jay was showing you where you could pick up everything you needed. On Windows XP the IIS server is not installed by default you have to select it as a component to install, so I'm not sure if you would have IIS installed either. If you want a simple and quick solution go to the link that Jay sent and download that installer you'll get Apache/PHP/MySQL and some other tools for development.

RE: [PHP] Testing on the local server
allison not familiar with dreamweaver to know if it can act as a webserver. i strongly suspect that it's simply an editor, but not an actual server, that can be used to interpret/display php code. that said, you'll have to have access to a webserver. IIS is a webserver from msoft. apache is a webserver from the open source community. there are other servers as well you'll need to decide which, if any, you need/want to setup. you might be better served by telling the list just what you're trying to accomplish. do you already have a webserver where your dreamweaver files are being displayed? the other suggestions that you've gotten have been from people who've pointed you to all in one apps. this may/may not be the best solution for you. -bruce -Original Message- From: Allison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 9:03 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Testing on the local server First of all, I'm completely new to PHP and pretty new to web programming/management in general, so if you respond, try not to use any really complex terms or anything that I may not understand! right now I have an existing PHP site that I downloaded for editing. But I am having problems viewing/testing .php documents. This one may be just a more general question not necessarily PHP-related... The server contains a folder of includes that are on every page (e.g. the header and footer, navigation bar, etc) - and all of these files are in .php format. I try to view these .php files on the web server just to see what they look like, and it says Access Denied, even though I've set the properties to allow all users to read the files in this folder. How can I view these? I use Dreamweaver and I try to test the files on the local host, but the page doesn't even show up. This maybe a stupid question..but to test on a local server, would I just need to download PHP? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
