    Hi i'm just wondering what localhost do you guys have so that i can know the different ones that are out there and which ones do you guys recommend? I have from the beginning since i started to lear PHP i have used WAMP as my server.

    Which ones do you guys use and which one do you recommend if any apart from WAMP?

    Thanks

    I'm using:
    1. Apache web server + php + mysql (the best)
    2. Key Focus Web Server (KFWS) + php + mysql

    wampserver is the by far the best

    Look for: appserv on Google. You will get php, mysql and web server in one single pack.

    I use Apache2Triad, its not a minimalistic package. Actually its full of tons of extensions and whatnot, so it may not be the best for general development.

    I have 4 different localhost settings:

    xampp from www.apachefriends.org (full bundle with addons, generally up on port 80 for testing and development)

    easyphp from www.easyphp.org (basic apache, php, mysq, switched when saving system resources is necessary)

    Abyss Web Server from www.aprelium.com , usually running on port 8080, open to friends who access my PC for entertainment.

    Microsoft's Personal Web Server (PWS) 4.0 just for ASP testing purposes when needed.
