I've been using VB.NET in all my development, but I'm making the switch to PHP with a new job I've entered.
I've been looking for a free source that includes a web server to launch a local host to edit my work. I've been trying to configure Eclipse to do this, but the localhost hasn't been working.
I used Microsoft Visual Studios for all my work, and it was all very easy and built-in to work with. What is a good program to use that includes BOTH an editor with libraries and a web server to launch on a local host?
You'd do best to go with two programs on this one.
WAMP Server - A program that launches Apache, MySQL, and PHP on a Windows computer for local testing and development.
Eclipse for PHP Developers - A robust and feature-rich editor targeted at PHP developers
or...
Notepad++ - A lightweight editor that is great for PHP development, but lacks the extra features of Eclipse
i ran iis on windows until i figured out they had wampserver ^^
oh and congratulations on escaping from basic.
Thanks haha
I've installed WAMP on my Windows 7 x64 bit system, but I cannot get it to work. It seems that the only way to access WAMP is through the task bar icon.. But for some reason when I click it (left or right mouse) no menu appears... Any thoughts? Is there a way to open up the manager in another window?
uh well for some reason i still use 32 bit systems
you dont need the stupid icon to operate it really. check to see if you can connect localhost on your machine and if you need to change ini files just use the service manager to restart the services

Not quite sure if I'm connecting to localhost correctly... When i go to http://localhost I get an IIS7 image saying welcome, and it's the only icon to click on.. and it redirects me to:
