demo 20 Dec 2008 12:24am PHP and SQL code is compiled at runtime and requires only basic PHP/SQL server services to do so. |

demo 20 Dec 2008 12:24am PHP does not require a compiler, it runs on any Web server. The best way to use it is to Download any distribution of Apache web server which includes them. Wamp is probably the most common. |

demo 20 Dec 2008 12:27am If you are using it just for development I recommend www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html This lightweight version has apache and php and mysql and just takes a few clicks to fully install. If you are going to connect it as a permanent web server then better go to http://www.php.net and the apache site. good luck |

demo 20 Dec 2008 12:31am Depending on what OS you are using you can get pre-built packages for both. I recommend using pre-built on Linux and BSD. With Windows you almost have to as compiling by hand is fraught with peril and frustration. PHP code is not compiled. It is linked in with your web server. When you install PHP it will take care of that aspect for you. PHP is compatable with all major web servers. I do suggest that you use LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) as a web server platform. I also suggest using an IDE of some sort while writing PHP. Takes much of the sting out of coding in PHP by finding unclosed tags and brackets as well as syntax help and it's easier to find those missing semi-colens. There are quite a few free IDEs that support PHP. Any web building tool that doesn't support PHP syntax is a waste of development energy. You'll also want to visit PHP develoment sites. There are quite a few RAD and application frameworks that might make your task quite a bit easier as well as large amounts of free sample code you can modify for use in what your writing. I'll drop a few in the source link. |

demo 20 Dec 2008 12:49am Assuming you're using Windows, I recommend XAMPP. You can download it here: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html This installer will install the Apache webserver; the MySQL database server, and the 'web programming languages' PHP and Perl all in one go. XAMPP is very easy to use, easier than WAMP, which is why I prefer the former. As other people have pointed out, PHP is not a compiler, it's an interpreter that cooperates with Apache. |
