Hi at all, i'm new here, and i'm new in php programming.
First of programming i obviusly need on my computer a php server. But i know that a php server can't exist witout web server.
I know by reputation Apache, but i've fear about its complexity.

Now, somebody can suggest me the simplest configuration to mount on my computer a web server with php support?
What web server is more convenient to be used? Apache? IIS? Another less famous? I need the **simplest** configuration that is possible!!

thank to everbody!!

if you just wana an easy solution, use Apache2Triad. It is a program for windows that takes all the hasles out of installing and configuring a webserver. it installs apache, php, perl, mysql, a mail server, a ftp server, and a few other things.

if you want Apache2Traid to install php 5, download and install Apache2Triad v1.5. If you want Apache2Traid to install php 4, download Apache2Triad v1.2.3
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=99198

I would recommend you use Apache2Triad v1.2.3 that installs php 4, as php 5 is still relativly new, and some php scripts that were writen for php 4 wont work with php 5. However, if you are just starting to learn php, then I would suggest you install Apache2Triad v1.5 that installs php 5, as that would be the best version for you to start learning with.
