PHP Tutorial: Installation and The Basics

To get php and apache installed use xampp.
xampp is free and contains php / apache (around 33mb)


1. Download and Install XAMPP from here:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

2. on windows go to C:\xampp

it should have a folder called htdocs. If you put a file called foo.html
into the htdocs folder you should be able to access it by going to
http://localhost/foo.html or /foo.php.

There's also something called WAMP
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
