Preview PHP on local machine
Hey all,
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to php but I've been trying out a couple email forms and they don't seem to work for me. I've uploaded them to my free space with my internet provider but regrettably, php isn't supported. Is there a way to test a php form on my PC?

Tesing PHP and MySQL on local machine. http://creativecoding.webforumz.com/...ips-tricks/#q3
However, if you need to send emails from localmachine, you will have to install a main server too!

Wamp allows you to test pages with things such as php and mysql databases on them

Re: Preview PHP on local machine
I used this: http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/in...-php-mysql.php
Had a couple of problems at first. WAMP server looks a little bit easier, but the same thing. (grrrr.....  )
