    I recommend XAMPP too, or any alternative.

    My vote goes to Xampp, found it nicer than Wamp. However, never understood why apache shows up twice in my task manager...

    Guys

    I installed XAMPP and now non-database php script is running on my PC. What to do with database? Right now I am using MySQL (phpmyadmin) with my script. How to deal with this at my PC?

    Thank you

    If your script doesnt use the database, then you dont need to do anything. It is there if you need it. PHPMyAdmin just allows you to manage your databases without needing to do so via command lines or with PHP.

    xampp has a phpmyadmin as well. should be localhost/mysqladmin or localhost/phpmyadmin.

    You can use PHPTriad or XAMPP.
    For noobs, PHPTriad is the best choice. But for advance, use XAMPP

    Ya xamp, wamp is great. But right now am using uniserver cos its too small application and portable too.
    No issues with it till now. and helps most of my purpose including phpmy admin. Its something like what you exectly have in your cpanel. So things become easy.

    I use xampp on my personal laptop, and wamp on my work desktop (only because its their standard).

    I've only used wamp for a week, but im starting to like it more then xampp.

    Hi guys !!!

    I have downloaded EasyPhp as a local server, I hope you know it, the problem is that my browser isn't able to find any .php file when I write /localhost/file.php or localhost/www/file.php, and I notice that there is not an index into the www foulder...

    Anyone of you can give any suggest, please?

    Thanks !!!
