PHP Scripting

I have dial-up, and I can't always upload my PHP scripts to my website and test them out. Is there a way, short of installing a web server, to test my PHP scripts locally?

just install php!


lol.... ya dont necesarily have to have a web server to have php...... it just makes it better when it comes to html.

PHP is run and output in a command line, but to take full advantage of what you see, you will most likely have to install apache.

Or if your running windows xp pro, or 2k, just turn on your IIS. (already installed with windows)



php is available at www.php.net of course
