installed PHP 5.3.1

Post by TheEagle »

Hi,

I have installed PHP 5.3.1 :
VC9 x86 Non Thread Safe (2009-Nov-19 09:53:39)
I'm install it to use it with IIS 5.1 Windows XP

But I don't know what to do next?
I installed it to the default Directory in the install wizard:
C:\ProgramFiles
But I realy don't know what should I do next to start PHP programming? I found three .exe files if I should use them to compile my .php files which one should I use and how to deploy them in this way?

Thank you for your respond...

In their website (php.net) I didn't read any thing about requiring wampserver ?!

If you want to install PHP by hand the documentation is here. http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php

From the wamp site:

Includes :
- Apache 2.2.11

Personally, I'd just recommend installing Ubuntu Linux on a spare computer.

Code: Select all

 
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql
and reboot, and you're ready to go.
