as posted in my sticky here: "If you want to test on your computer, so as not to upload the scripts every time you change something, I recommend using the Easy PHP package from [http://www.easyphp.org](http://www.easyphp.org) , I’ve been using this for some years now on both Win 2k and Win XP Home without any problem, it’s a one-click install of the Apache server, PHP, phpMyAdmin to work on your databases… All for free. " Install = setup. To use, start it, an e with a blinking green dot should show up in the taskbar next to the clock, if the dot is red, right-click and select “start” or “démarrer” in french. let me know if you need more help. ---

the way you run files through it is type localhost into your browser and place your files in the c\program files\easyPHP\www directory. I deleted the index file from this directory so that a file listing shows up and I can just click on whatever file I need to open it. ---

I am having fun fooling around with PHP scripts. Whenever I test a script I type [http://localhost/myfile.php](http://localhost/myfile.php) into the browser; this works fine. But then when I make a little change and want to test it again the old version is cached. How can I stop this caching from happening? Right now I give it a different name which sucks. Thanks ---

you can’t ☹ what i do is, tools\>internet options\>delete files before each test…which sucks too 😉 …but works… glad it works, it’s still easier than uploading after each change, no? ---
