Hey,

Just wondering if you can view php sites offline... Wana get a site going but I heard you can't view them offline in your browser, and I don't wana have to purchase web space untill I get a site done... know what i mean...
What can I do to go about it this way?

You can always install an Apache webserver on your machine locally and PHP. There are many great tutorials on how to do this. You can download PHP from the php website @ http://www.php.net and download Apache @ http://www.apache.org . Plus it's all free! Can't beat that.

Hope that helps! 😃

PHP needs a server for you to be able to view the site through a browser. You can download Apache which can run on windows or *nix, or if you have an windows NT-based machine (ie NT, 2K or XP) you can run IIS or if you have a 9x based machine (95, 98, ME) then you can install PWS. All of these will run PHP.

Dammit! 1 minute too late :rolleyes:
