I use WAMP. It is perfect for the sort of stuff I do, and I have figured out how to enable mod_rewrite on Apache.

Edit: I installed everything, and it works like a charm. But I need help on how to set up phpMyAdmin? I'm lost at this part, so any help is appreciated.

Go to the phpMyAdmin download page and download the version you want. Extract the files out of the archive you downloaded. Move those to your web server's 'live' folder (the folder you put files in so they can be accessed with the web server) and go through the phpMyAdmin installation page. All of the information you need to fill in is fairly obvious if you have just set up your MySQL server.

Alternatively, on most Linux distributions you can just download the phpMyAdmin package for the latest version.

Come to think of it, I might uninstall WAMP and install XAMPP. It sounds like it's got a few extra features which would be good.

Acid,
If you have an XAMPP installed, phpmyadmin is available by:

1. open your Apache Server
2. open a Browser window/tab
3. enter "localhost" in the Adress Bar

phpmyadmin is on the left hand side under tools.

Oh, thanks a lot. I appreciate it!

wamp!!!Test Your Php Pages W/o Upload/internet

I use WAMP (not XAMP) and I'm pretty happy with it...

It has a nice tray icon where you can control lots of things (including PHP and Apache settings) with a couple of clicks.

Before that I used to install Apache and PHP the manual way, installing apache, installing PHP, configuring all text configuration files manually, and issuing console commands to install the service... /txtmngr/images/smileys/smiley1.Gif

Thankfully I never had to go as far as to compie that thing... Lol...Its cool what used to take half a day now can be done in 5 minutes or less.

Yay!! I can now test PHP code and see if I can do it....
