In simple terms, they are your short cut to quick and easy installs of the most popular website software around. They take the technical bit out of an install, you just choose what you want from the list and the script does all the hard work for you. Within minutes, seconds even, you can have your Blog site installed and ready, or your Ecommerce website, or your content management system, or…well the list goes on and on.

Both the Fantastico and Elephante Installer are free to use PHP web application services installers. They install various PHP script packages automatically through a control panel, all without requiring any PHP skill.

    The "something" can be accessed very easily with PHP. If you have a web page address that looks like this:

    index.php? month=september&name=smith&age=24

    Then you can access those values in PHP like this:

    <?php
    echo $_GET('month');
    echo $_GET('name');
    echo $_GET('age');
    ?>

    This will print septembersmith24.

    As for accessing a text file, that's easy too:

    <?php
    $text = file_get_contents( 'textfile.txt' );
    echo $text;
    ?>

    This will read the entire contents of the file textfile.txt into the variable $text, and then print it out for you.

    You can also access many databases with PHP, I highly recommend you use MySQL. It's a bit too complicated to describe here, though. There are some good references made to good books by folks above. The "Teach Yourself" series is great.

    You can use a menu maker if you're not sure how to code something on your own. There are a gazillion of them out there and many are even free. Pick one that suits you…

    I don't think there is such a thing as a PHP emulator, and I don't know why you'd need one. It's likely that you either didn't install PHP and apache correctly or you aren't using it right.

    Use XAMPP to install PHP and apache. It will also include MySQL and phpMyAdmin (which you will need sooner or later) and some other good stuff too. It's much easier than trying to configure PHP and apache by hand. Best of all, it's all configured to run together immediately. XAMPP and all of its components are free and open source.
    http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

    Once you've got a web server, you need to turn it on (that's not automatic.) There's a nice control panel that makes this easy with XAMPP. PHP files will only work if they're in a specific subdirectory (usually htdocs in the apache directory structure) Also, you can't just load a PHP file into the browser the same way you do an HTML file. Instead, you need to point the browser to
    http://localhost/yourFileName.php

    PHP is called by the server, so if you use a mechanism (like the file:// directive) that bypasses the server, your PHP programs won't run.

    Windows XP PRO has functionality for running a web server built in

    IIS is an option, however, under a "Default" installation of XP Pro, it might not be installed

    Control panel – > add / remove programs -> Add Remove Windows COmponents – Check "Internet Information Services"

    You could also look @ apache as has been mentioned, however, IIS is PART of windows.

    Really what you need to run php is some one who also offers a sql database these do but I dont get the website builder thing?
    if your messing around with php why would you need a WYSIWYG builder?

    If you have sensitive files that should be accessible only by scripts, put them somewhere on the server other than the web root. Your scripts will still be able to access them, but nobody can pull them off the web.
