Developing PHP website.

Post by mattyboi »

Hey guys,

I am currently building a website using PHP and MySQL. Yahoo is hosting my site. When I make changes to my site I want to view my changes on my personal PC before I copy them over to Yahoo. I would also like to use some other database management program other than myPHPadmin which Yahoo provides. This software is not the best and is web based which I don't really care for. What would you guys recommend.

Thanks.

PHP and MySQL: installing the (PHP, Apache, MySQL) servers on your computer. Installer packages are mentioned in the "Starter Pack" we have on the board.
phpMyAdmin: MySQL has a GUI admin tool, there are other GUI based tools. You could use the MySQL command line interface. Most tools will be like phpMyAdmin though, browser based.

I've installed Apache2Triad on my personal machine and am still not able to view my website locally. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Sorry, I wouldn't know. Personally, I only manually install the servers. I don't trust the packages or like how they operate.

Well, at least you pick a package with a good forum.

Once, you figure out how the package works you'll be able to manually install them too [ ... not to forget dislike and not trust them too :roll: ].
