PHP local processer

OMG Its EoinD

Heya lads I'm studying Computer Science in UCC, and when we do our PHP at home , I need to upload it to the server and go through the web browser to the URL so the PHP Processer can interpret the code, which if i realise I had a compile time error means its a pain in the ass to keep on reuploading to the server. I was wondering does anyone know a way ( or a programme ) that would simulate a local PHP processor on my laptop , and display the output there and then?

Nice one.

Download Wampserver - this is a standalone webserver that will allow you to develop PHP apps locally before uploading them. Just download & install, it's dead handy.

Thanks I used Wampserver but is there any better alternatives out there ?

Thanks anyway

No, there really aren't. If there's something you can't get with Wampserver, you're probably not using it right

You could download PHP directly from www.php.net and run your php scripts from the command line. Potayto, potahto though. Easier to use a web browser IMO.

Try EasyPHP

Install it and you are up and running with LAMP setup in a few minutes.

If you have Mac then try MAMP which is pretty similiar.
