Need PHP/MySQL help

Post by alberto99 »

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my skills from ASP/Access/SQL to PHP/MySQL
I was hoping to get started with the basics. Can someone point me to what and where do I download the neccessary software to start. I want to stat from scratch, so I guess I need to download apache server first (can it run on win XP machine) and MySQL server. Are there GUI interfaces for it?
sorry for al lthe questions that probably make you laugh but I need to start somewhere :)

Alternatively you can try XAMPP, or set up your own web server by downloading Apache, PHP and MySQL separately. That's what I did as a learning experience when I first set up my web server. If you want to get it working quickly though, XAMPP is ideal.
