How can I test my PHP code on my own computer?

March 7th, 2010 by admin

I have a basic knowledge of coding PHP, but I don’t know how to test my pages without uploading it to the web server. I use SharePoint Designer, but I have DreamWeaver too. I need a step by step guide. Thanks.

you need to download and install a webserver on your computer, which will simulate an actual server.

Apache is a pretty common one, though I preffer Abyss. Google it.

    Unless your computer is a server, you can’t.

    You can install Apache server with a php module. Use a search engine to find the tutorials.
