Working with PHP offline

Working with PHP offline

which software do u use while working with php!! I uses easyphp but thats not upto the expectation!!!

how about naming yours,pliz

the personal webserver (IIS) that comes with winxp seems sufficient for me for all the dev work I do. It's limited to 10 concurrent connections, but that should be enough for a non production server.

XAMPP ( http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html) :)

I have had offline wamp servers let me down when the code went live. It's too easy to set up a test folder live and password protect it to bother with for me having had to go back and debug later.

Then in todays age of PHP, you have to test php4 and php5. :eek:

php4 is basically out from what i've seen though, php5 does offer support for OO classes and since Microsoft's Asp.net, better stay with php5 albeit most hosts still consider php4 as "safe"

While that may be true for us Ns, the regular folks, Ms, still have alot of 4 out there and us Ns have to code accordingly.

Does that translate into coding for php5 will be php4 backward compatable? I'm a lower case n in answering that one. :p

lol :p i'll rest my case for the next 5 years..;)

I use xampp for offline testing and coding. Light php Edit for actual coding.
