PHP Test Program?

What program do you recomand for windows 7 to test my php and mysql localy on my computer without uploading them on the server.

 

You could install PHP and a web server (IIS) on Windows 7 and use that to test. There are plenty of documents around explaining how to do it. Most programs that error check PHP code require you to have PHP installed on your system. Without it, the most those programs usually do is syntax highlighting.

 

try using wamp or xamp

 

Any other suggestions?

 

My recommendations. Wamp, phpdesigner 7, Dreamweaver, Firefox web developer kit

 

try you xamp

 

I would recommend you download and install following:

Apache web server
Mysql community server
PHP module for Apache

Doing this would result in almost web hosting server-like environment.
Setup takes a bit of time in comparison to xampp etc, but it is worth the time.

 

Or you can use virtual mashine, like VMWare or VirtualBOX (free), inside install enviroment like on your real server and use for tests before deployment to production server.

 

Use XAMPP. It's so easy and it's portable too.

 

Download XAMPP or WAMPserver, then save the file.
for XAMPP save in:
XAMMP/XAMPP/htdocs

for WAMP save in /WAMP/www

 

Use Wamp or xamp server. I am using wamp only.

 

I would of course recommend to have Apache, PHP and MySQL installed and properly configured but if you don't feel like having a setup like that, go for WAMP - one-click module loading and portability makes it a pretty good alternative.

 

I prefer Wamp...no particular reason just the first one I chose and it has done everything I've ever needed.

 

use xampp from apachefriends really good
