Setting up a PHP environment #2

[ande]

Hello again,

Just thought I would mention that there is a easier way of creating a PHP testing/development environment than the previous tutorial I wrote(http://evilzone.org/web-oriented-programming/starting-php-scripting-setting-up-a-php-environment/). This one is windows ONLY tho. But its like 1 click installer, so its very easy, fast and a general good product. Not much of a server product tho, keep it to testing and development.

WAMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP on Windows)
http://www.wampserver.com/en/

• Download the latest release of Wampserver 2
• Optionally add as much Apache, PHP and MySQL releases as you want
• Work with a development environment that reproduces exactly your production server

One-click Apache, MySQL, PHP and phpMyAdmin installer.

  Just google setting up LAMP on linux, its even more easier.

I prefer XAMPP/LAMPP over WAMP.
WAMP tends to crash for no reason...

Never crashed for me. I tried XAMPP once, but seamed messy. Never tried LAMPP(?).

LAMPP is XAMPP for linux (Linux Apache MySQL PHP)

I definitely prefer LAMP. It's incredibly easy to set up. Though I find I never really use phpMyAdmin though.

I have the WAMPSERVER thing, but is notepad++ not a good develop environment? Because I cant seem to open the RFI_EZ_Test_Script.tar.

Notepad++ is a text editor with markup. Its fine for scripts and alike, but it has no compiler afaik. You have to unpack the RFI script with something like winrar (or just tar on linux).
