is there a way to load php in windows? i'd like to be able to edit a few script while traveling

You could install Apache + PHP under windows for sure. There are complete packages available for windows wich install all that (and more).

Go do a search on google for "Apache PHP MySQL Windows Download" or something like that. Eventhough it's christmas i'm too fucked up to do it for ya bud :)

http://www.easyphp.org
Apache, MySQL & PHP in one easy to install package for windows.

You can install Fireserv on your PC. I use it for development and testing. Comes complete with PHP, MySQL, Apache, Zend, PHPMyAdmin and Perl.

One installer does it all for you. Install takes about two minutes.

thanks guys

very nice application! :thumbsup

PHP: php.net - get only 4.3x - not 5 (get the full package not the installer).
Apache: apache.org - get only 1.3x (unless you don't plan on programming your software commercially :P)
MySQL: mysql.org - get 4.x

Install Apache -- Once done, your server is already completely configured...now comes adding the isapi moduesl. If you read the install.txt that comes with PHP, you will see that it wants you to edit httpd.conf -- located in c:\program files\apache group\apache\conf\htttpd.conf.. you will then add the following lines:
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
(usually put them in like the middle of the document, just make sure they aren't at the very top).

Now, go into the PHP directory and copy php4ts.dll into sapi/ and rename php.ini.dist to php.ini and copy php.ini to C:\windows\. Now, edit php.ini and search for 'extension_dir' and change it to extension_dir=C:\php.

Now, restart your apache server, and you shouldn't receieve any error messages... if you do get some error messages, follow the install.txt file in your C:\php folder...

Alright, hope that helps!
Merry Christmas
