 | PHP is a server-side language, so PHP will only execute on a server with PHP installed. You can download PHP onto your computer from www.php.net, but I find it a lot easier just to upload scripts.

| You will also need a web server installed. They best free one is Apache(http://httpd.apache.org/). I recommend that you get the 1.3.29 as it seems to be more stable, and if you have Win XP Home you HAVE to get that version the 2 version will not work on XP Home. |
