RE: [PHP] Getting started with PHP
Welcome Steve, You'll need to do two things to get started, download apache and php for windows, and configure 2 files - httpd.conf (apache), and php.ini. A good tutorial can be found here : http://softwaredev.earthweb.com/script/article/0,,12014_912381,00.html After that create a .php file in apache's /htdocs dir (which is where you will put your pages), the file should look like this: ? phpinfo(); ? This will show you all of php's configuration settings. From there the world is your oyster ;) HTH, Steve. -Original Message- From: Sauron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 12:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Getting started with PHP Hi all I am brand new to PHP, I have a friend that develops in it and I'm interested in learning more about it.

Re: [PHP] Getting started with PHP
read the install section of the PHP manual at www.php.net and then read the tutorial.

RE: [PHP] Getting started with PHP
Sauron, Since you're running Win2K, then you can use IIS already installed instead of Apache. I use Win2K Server, with IIS, PHP 4, and mySQL on my local box, and it works just fine.

Re: [PHP] Getting started with PHP
Install Apache, PHP and MySQL. See each site for more information (http://php.net/install, apache.org, mysql.com), and I'd advise using pre-compiled installer scripts, rather than compiling your own for the moment... all of the above are free. stick with all the default settings, and figure out what else you want later.
