PHP offline validation?

Post by Jonah Bron »

I had forgotten my password, AND my username. I had to scroll through the memberlist to find out who I even was. :oops:
Anyway, I have a question for all you PHP developers. Is there a way to use php.exe to validate PHP offline? If so, that would be really cool, as I don't always have access to the internet. Thanks.

Yeah, set up apache and php (perhaps mysql, too) on your local machine.
Then you can develop offline.
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

Everyone that develops for the web should have a local web server, local database server and local version of their server side language engine. You should never be bound by an internet connection to develop.

Thanks, Mordred, and everyone else. Just got a local server finished up today. :D I just found some info on it from akamarketing.com. Really easy to follow. Thanks again!
