Try XAMPP
search google... It have everything...

 

ok lets try it..Is there any other software for that work

 

Try WAMP. It have everything that you need, PHP, SQL, phpMyAdmin.

Download free free from http://www.wampserver.com/

 

XAmpp - just install it and it gets Apache + PHP + MySQL all in without any efforts.

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Code (markup):

 

try apache2triad.net is good and easy to install.

 

Download Apache (self install).

Download PHP (self install also).

Then download MYSQL (which is also self install).

Peace,

 

azizny, doesn't always work for everyone. Plenty of things needed to configured.
What I've always found easy was, install Apache 1.3.37 (yeah, we're like that), then I would download the "no install" version of PHP. Make a new directory in my local drive (C:\) called PHP, and extract it there. Then I'd rename php.ini-recommended to php.ini. Then I follow the instructions inside C:\PHP\Install.txt for "Apache 1.x on Windows". After that's all situated, I would use the "no install" version of MySQL, and I would start it by going to Start -> Run, and type in "C:\MySQL\bin\mysqld" (I put MySQL in C:\MySQL)
Also, when installing apache, change any part that says "localhost" to "phphost" or something that you can relate to PHP, because it will get mixed with IIS, and cause conflicts.

 

I've used this myself and love this package, Also very easy to install and setup

 

I agree with using XAMPP, best in my opinion.

 

I use XAMPP DAILY..
u know the main things and advantages are
U will get a Good control panel..
Easy to configure.
SSL support (That's right)
PHP
MYSQL
EMAIL

now do u need anything else the list will go on.
And Better of all IT IS SO EASY TO INSTALL. if u need further help then post here i will help..
help like config, pass other related issue.

 

Hi,
I just downloaded Apache, PHP and Mysql and installed them. Its just a matter of adding 3 lines to httpd.conf to add PHP to Apache. And removing some semicolons from a few lines in php.ini. Oh yea,you also have to add the php directory to PATH for some extensions to work.

Try EasyPHP, I have been using it without any complain

Cheers.

 

I do not thing all can do that.. People willl not do that..
Actually the Problem is u will have to get all things from different sites
Xampp include every thing u will ever need in one pacakage...
I am sorry but i am not promoting the Product My Sole Intention is to Provide the Info on a SImple and best Product..
There are many like this.. Like the PHPEasy..

 

I have 2 PCs - one of which I run XAMPP on. it took me a while to install cos I didnt really know what I was doing, but there are instructions. It took me a while to figure out I had to restart the PC after install for the service to start automatically


...btw it is great - especially all the software that comes ready installed

 

Not the easiest option but it might work if you are lucky enough not to spend hours on setting that up

I used to have EasyPHP installed but it would let me down from time to time and I found XAMPP while looking for other options. Turned to be the best out there. One single problem I've been facing with is the control panel. I only use it to start the services and then shut down from the Task Manager. Otherwise you will notice that your computer resources will get eaten while the XAMPP control panel keeps calling pv.exe every second. Doesn't happen all the time but when it does, it does good. So just kill the control panel process once Apache and MySQL are up, and you should be good to go.

Their LITE version doesn't even need installing. All you have to do is unpack, open the /xampp directory and run setup_xampp.bat once to have the config settings sorted. That's it, and no restart was needed when I first installed xampp..

 

yes I am using XAMPP...but not lite version..its little hard for me to learn it like creating mysql db etc...is there any tutorail for using it or like that

 

Lite means you do not have to run an installer. Fewer options available but the most important are there still! Besides, you can move your "server" from one computer to another easily.

Databases can be added via http:// localhost/phpmyadmin tool, no hassle..

 

I am also using XAMPP in my laptop.
Tried using self installs of php/mysql/apache - seemed at that time latest version of php had some issues with latest apache. I fixed it with an available patch, but later went for XAMPP - easy to go...

 

Thanks I am using it
