Install PHP and MySQL on Windows XP

[hbradshaw]

Hello:

I need to do some work with PHP and MySQL while I'm away.

Is it possible to install PHP and MySQL on a laptop running Windows XP?

If so, where would I go to download the files that I need for the install?

And, is there anything else that I need to install in order to run the two apps?

Thank you.

Yes its possible. You will need a webserver of some kind such as Apache

http://httpd.apache.org/
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
http://www.php.net/downloads.php

There is also tutorial in Newbies forum FAQ + Bookmarked threads
