To build a Web site using PHP, basically an HTTP server, PHP and Database are required. Some HTTP servers available are Apache and Microsoft IIS. While using PHP, most people choose apache for HTTP server and MySQL for database because all are free or open source software. You can install these components (PHP, Apache, MySql ) either individually or a third-party component, say, EasyPHP, that integrates PHP, Apache and MySQL.

The integrated packages, such as EasyPHP, LAMP, etc, are means to get everything up and running in one step.

If you would like to install and use as individual packages, please follow these steps:Download the apache server from the following apache URL: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi Win32 Source: httpd-2.2.6-win32-srcr2. zip

To download PHP setup binaries, please look up the URL: http://www.php.net/ downloads.php.

The following are Windows binaries required for the PHP 5.2.4 version. PHP 5.2.4 zip package [9,702Kb] PHP 5.2.4 installer [22,002Kb] PECL 5.2.4 Win32 binaries [4,363Kb] PHP 5.2.4 Non-thread-safe Win32 binaries [9,608Kb] PECL 5.2.4 Non-thread-safe Win32 binaries [4,110Kb]

To install MySQL, navigate to the mysql site, http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ mysql/5.0.html Windows downloads Windows Essentials (x86)ver.5.0.4522.9M Windows ZIP/Setup.EXE (x86) ver.5.0.4542.4M Without installer (unzip in C:\) ver.5.0.4550.0M

If you would like to install and use as a single package, you can download EasyPHP, which integrates PHP interpreter, the MySQL database program, the Apache web server,and the PHPMyAdmin database administration program.

This can be downloaded from http:// www.easyphp.org/telechargements.php3 Please follow the installation instructions at http://www.canowhoopass.com/guides/ easyphp/
