Hi people. I’m running WIN XP at home and would like to install PHP and run PHP at home. But I have no idea how to install PHP on my PC. Could someone please enlighten me? THanks! ---

use fireserv its the best you can use apache php cgi-bin perl mysql and python its really simple to set up and if you want to run it on a home computer and your isp blocks the port for allowing this (80) in apache conf set it to 8501 such as my site [http://vincecronin.com](http://vincecronin.com) its hosted on my computer and it works great here is the version of php it comes with [http://ww2.vincecronin.com:8501/phpinfo.php](http://ww2.vincecronin.com:8501/phpinfo.php) comes with the most needed stuff in php such as GD & ZLIB and zend optamizer here is the url of you want to download it its free and cool comes with phpmyadmin hhaha for to tell ya hahha Fireserv 1.11 - [http://fireserv.beezm.net/stats.php?file=F...ireserv1-11.exe](http://fireserv.beezm.net/stats.php?file=F...ireserv1-11.exe) Fireserv 1.20 Beta - [http://fireserv.beezm.net/stats.php?file=F...ireserv1-20.exe](http://fireserv.beezm.net/stats.php?file=F...ireserv1-20.exe) the beta has zlib and a lot of other stuff such as on start auto apache run whach works perfect there is no eeors in the beta listed ---

easyphp is the way to go if you need a package, but if you can handle doing it manually, then I suggested you go to the apache website, and the php website and download the source files then install them each individually. The steps for installation are included with the documentations.
