A newbie needs some help.

Hiy,

I'm a complete newbie and really struggle at the same beginning. I got through some php tutorials and there's a lot of things about installing php, apache etc. Do I really need to install those things. How can I get started?


thanks,
Simon

 

Its really easy to install php and apache. If u r having some problem in installing these, then you can use some installers that will ease your work. You need to set up a localhost to check the php (server side) working.

 

So actually I can do it without installig php on my PC, but it would be a bit of hassle to send my scripts to the server. So its better to do it all on my PC.

 

thats the main idea of setting a local host

 

cheers mate, that's really helped me.

So I'm gonna go through some installation tutorials.

cheers again

 

try installing them and get acquinted with google and search techniques

 

good luck buddy.

 

if you face any problems, try using packages like xampp for installing Apache and PHP on locahost.

 

just use package like xampp / wamp like inoxhost said, one-click installed & running.

This will make your work easier because those package include PHP , mySQL, apache, phpmyadmin, and more.
