I have been starting to look into the Web Development side of things like PHP coding. I already have a good knowledge of CSS, HTML and some Javascript. So i have started on PHP but it gets annoying to continually have to upload my PHP files to a web host to test them.

So i was wondering if their are any programs that can be downloaded off the web that can be used to test PHP on your computer without having to keep uploading them to a host?

I couldent find any when i searched but maybe there is a few.

Thanks

I think this has been answered before, but the best way is to install a localhost application which has everything built in including phpMyAdmin, apache and mysql etc.

Do a google search on:

Wamp
Xampp
Apache2Triad

These are the 3 I know and use to test my scripts locally.

Ah thanks thats exactly what i needed.
I have downloaded Apache2Triad and setting it up now.

Thanks again.
