ok hope this is in the right forum but its mainly about PHP. I'm on a vacation job here and received the assignment to create a form wich links to a database (mysql database) in php. i've created a little local database and have started creating some test pages in php (never even seen the language before so you can guess this isnt quite easy for me. I received a big fat book on php and will need to manage with that.

Now my problem is : I dont know how to host the files localy, i was told to use apache but its quite vague on how you actually start hosting files and then look at them.
could anyone give me more explanation on what i need to do to host the files and be able to look at them(all localy on the same computer).

thanks in advance
