Hi, i am experiencing some technical difficulties with my FTP for my site at the moment so i was hoping to view my site locally... My site is in php BUT there is no connection to a database. I simply want to be able to run a php site locally so i am looking for a small app for this as i do not need phpmyadmin... any suggestions, thanks in advance
Same as xampp, wamp is there a dutch version of http://www.usbwebserver.net/nl/ a USB ready webserver.. There is an english download version!
You could try this: http://www.phpied.com/installing-php-and-apache-on-mac-osx-that-was-pretty-easy/, however I've never tried installing Apache or PHP on a Mac.
PHP stand for php hypertext preprocessor. php programing language is easy language.HTML tags use in PHP.this web page using post method.php is HTML script.PHP offers many advantages-it is fast,stable,easy to use and open source.
1) I wouldn't say easy but rather forgiving that makes it easy to write bad code. Writing good code takes work. 2) PHP really shouldn't be entwined with PHP. 3) PHP is a stable distribution, like most languages, however you can still easily write unstable code.
If you have a Mac, then PHP, Apache and MySQL should all be built in. You just need to turn them on in your control panel area and place your PHP code in your local web hosting directory. Then yes, Navicat would be useful if you wanted to manipulate your local database.
Hi, thanks for your reply... where is the local web hosting directory and where are the php and apache settings on a mac, thanks again...
The local HTTPD directory is located in your local home directory named "Sites". As for getting the server turned on and configured, this link has really good comprehensive instructions with screen captures. Good luck!
