In fact in...@Anonymous - you don't need to use IIS. In fact installing PHP is easier using Apache, but you can use many different webservers under windows (lighttpd, nginx, etc).<br /><br />What I would recommend is the <A HREF="http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html" REL="nofollow">XAMPP</A> package, since it is quite easy to install. I didn't use it under Windows 7, but there is a very good chance that it will work without a problem. One thing to be aware of however is the security aspect: it is mainly configured as a developer tool, so it is not as tight as you can (and should) be in a production environment. Make sure that you understand the security considerations before you start running a website accessible (and thus attackable) by anyone.Cd-MaNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030326541176171725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35005627.post-1110661136862743462009-06-01T19:40:54.231+03:002009-06-01T19:40:54.231+03:00What about if I don't want to run IIS?

Do I now need it for PHP under Win7? <br /><br />What I'm getting under Win7 without IIS is that my PHP commands are echoed back. So by going to localhost, I see the PHP command for the info screen instead of the actual information panels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
