Hey all,  
I am pretty new to PHP, (you could say I am not even crawling yet), although I can read the scripts and get a resonable idea of what it is doing . . .  
I am now creating the Flash/PHP forms by following advice from the forums.  
But,  
what do I need to get/download to be able to test a PHP script on my machine???What process needs to be undertaken to set it up properly for this purpose??  
Any help muchly appreciated
