Hey friends, I am starting to learn Php.How to install Php and Apache manually and all the necessary configurations on a Windows Xp Pro PC. I do not want to use TRIADs(PHP triad or Apache triad) OR XAMP. I want information on how to install PHP and Apache manually. Bye for now.
Just out of curiosity: why do you not want to use one of the 'all in one' installers? I can't help you... I've had too much trouble with PHP and Apache over the years and so I recommend XAMPP to everyone, including my clients. Don't forget that you want to add MySQL to that group. Also don't forget that with the later revisions of PHP, the MySQL libraries weren't distributed with it, so you need to account for that, as well.
I can understand wanting to have it local: remote servers lack debugging and integrated IDEs plus some of them cache files wierdly. It doesn't make for a nice learning environment... The 'no XAMPP' I think is strange, but to each his own.
