this is from the kirupa tutorial.It says:
*Putting it All Together
All that remains now is uploading your published swf (with accompanying html) and PHP file to your server. Be sure you keep the PHP file in the same directory as your swf and html or your script may not be found when called from Flash. If you don’t want it to be in that same directory, be sure you correctly reference the location of the PHP file in the loadVariables command used in Flash. Once uploaded, play your movie and send yourself a message! It’ll be fun - and it will also test to make sure this actually works 
since, if you didn’t already know, **you can’t test from your own computer’s hard drive unless you have the proper configurations and PHP installed ** (which, more than likely, is not the case). It’s ok though, since you don’t need it on your personal computer, just your server. And if its working from there, then you should be in the clear. *
what is the bold text supposed to mean? i’m using window xp pro and i didn’t know if my com. is a server or not. i’m clueless. am i supposed to install php into my com? if it is, where can i get one and what is the latest one?
