Which is better way to install?

[Anon]

I'm trying to get an Apache server set up with PHP support on Windows 98. This comp is a 166 with 32MB of RAM and I'm wondering which program out of these would be better to install PHP, EasyPHP 1.1 or PHPMyAdmin?

Alternatively, can I just go with getting all the necessary files in a .zip, like in the binary on www.php.net?

Any help given to a php newb would be appreciated. lol.

Welcome onboard! I just experienced your headache few months back. To make a long story short, I think your best bet whould be EasyPHP package, however for solving my own problem at that time, I got PHPTriad from http://www.phpgeek.com and successfully installed Apache + PHP + MySQL, then pay a visit on the corresponding configuration files prior to uninstall it then obtain each individual latest software from their corresponding website and rearranging the configuration file to suit my needs.
However, you don't have to go all the way, if you satisfy with eith EasyPHP or PHPTriad.
I hope this can help you!
Happy hacking!
