I have been trying to avoid having to set up PHP and Apache on my computer, as last time I did it, it was too fiddly. So this time I have opted for the wusses way out and was just going to get some software that would do everything for me. I tried two solutions: WAMP5 and EasyPHP and neither of them were sucessful. EasyPHP was far closer, the only thing I was unable to achieve was getting form data into a MySQL table.

Does anyone know of any other programs that are free with the same features. And also one that is more likely to work with Vista.

THEfish!
