Hi,
I am totally new to php and wish to set it up on my computer with
the following in mind:
First I want to set up so as to have php able to run my scripts on
this machine without having going through a web server. For example,
file i/o, create files, delete files, read in text a line at a time or
whole files to a var; split lines into several vars etc, etc. Also,
move, create, rename, and delete sub-directories; read from and write to
a database. (mysql?) You get the idea - sort of like souped up batch files.
Second, Then start applying this to php at work on my web site.
I am not sure what to get in the way of a simple to set up solution but
I have looked here:
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Software_and_Servers/Installation_Kits/
Perhaps something like WAMP5, EasyWAMP, or perhaps ZZEE PHP GUI? The
problem is that I don't know nuthin yet.
This is not something I'm going to dally with. I really want to get a
handle on PHP and at the same time solve some of my real needs at the
home computer level. If it's necessary to have a web server from the
getgo I have a little server on the network here in the home where that
can reside while I learn.
I hope I have been clear as to what I wish for so perhaps someone could
start me off with some ideas as to what simple installation would get me
going.
In advance thank you very much for listening!
fried
