I work on Mac OS 10.3.9. I use skEdit for coding.
I have started using php includes on my site.
Problem is I can only preview them by uploading to my remote server as the Apache server on my mac doesn't handle php files.
I'd like to be able to preview pages on my mac without uploading to the remote web server.

I've downloaded php, but whoa! those installation instructions are way beyond me. I'm not an IT expert, just a humble graphic/web designer. Is this worth me pursuing? I just don't have the time to learn a whole new coding language (just getting by with html, css and some javascript!!).

Any tips/pointers?
