Local Environment?

Post by CalebBoese »

Hi all!

I was just wondering... Is there any way to set up a local environment for editing PHP? Like a server-enabled PHP for a folder I would use? And for mySQL too? Like, C:\My Documents would get chosen by this local server, and all PHP documents would be handled and sent back?[/b]

:roll: Interesting, I can tell you this is possible if one system (Server is of linux), setup a samba server on Linux, and link it to a local windows system on which you are coding. Hope fully you might get stuck get at permissions on linux, If you are successful till setting up samba server on linux and link the path to your local windows, permissions should not be a problem.

"Local environment" typically means developing on your own machine with a web server and database installed (if needed.)
