Make my local computer php enabled

Post by Reflexor »

(newbie) How do I test the php in my site if all my files are local. Can I install php on my local computer so php code will execute just like it would on a php enabled server. Does it cost anything ? Where can I get it ?

Thanks for any help.

php.net > download

more specifically: http://www.php.net/downloads.php

as for cost, it's free.

You can download an installer here:

It will install Apache, PHP, and MySQL all in one shot.

Also, the starter pack should be quite handy.
