Have you read the installation guide in the manual:
http://www.php.net/installation
Or better yet have a look at phpcomplete.com for tutorials and stuff to get you started.

i installed triad the other day and i didnt configure anything... i just write php and save .php and i got a message from sum B*TCH on AIM saying im being hacking and i should b more careful, etc so i closed apache and disconnected to make sure.... dose anyone know if apache is letting him attack me? or if hes just saying sh*t to p*ss me off. If he is attacking me... can i password it or make it more secure. Till then im running triad on another pc not online so im safe.
As long as you have a secure webserver and you haven't put your web root as C: or something you should be fine. I recommend setting your web root to something like C:\web or similar. The other thing you could to is use .htaccess to deny access from anyone who is not localhost, I did it but I have forgotten exactly how somthing like:
Code: Select all
deny from all
allow from localhostOn the other hand maybe you should thank him for pointing it out. Have you thought about installing a software firewall, ZoneAlarm have a free, decent firewall.Moffesto wrote:message from sum B*TCH on AIM saying im being hacking and i should b more careful...or if hes just saying sh*t to p*ss me off.

Although PHP has many Server modules and is mainly used for sever side applications, PHP is a general scripting language. Thats what the binarys for in the windows application its as mch as client side as perl or sh is.twigletmac wrote:Since PHP is server-side technology you need a webserver to run it.
