Hi newbie,
The fact that you do not want your script accesible from the net doesn't
matter at all, only securitywise.
Just go apache with php, as you suggested.
If you are on Ubuntu, you probably have to give a command like:
apt-get install php5-gd (as root or as sudo)
or something close to that.
Then Ubuntu will get the source from your fav. apt-get-install site, and
install it.
From there on go to www.php.net and read a bit around.
Pay attention to php.ini and the install instructions, they will contain
some important settings for you that define the way PHP behaves.
Check stuff from your faforite webbrowser (firefox I presume) via:
http://localhost/yourscript.php
If you get confused, go to www.php.net first, if still confused, come back
here. ;-)
Best of luck
Regards,
Erwin Moller
