Re: what do I need to get started?

I have plenty of time on my hand and would like to know more about php.
A couple of years ago I downloaded and installed all the stuff I needed on another machine.
I now have the zip file from php.net to get started.
What I don't recall is what server I had. I thought it was all built into one package, but maybe not. Apache maybe? Tried out the Xitami thing once didn't like it.
Looking over their site, I can't make heads or tails for the appropriate server for my needs.
I would like to have it all locally.
I currently operate with Windows XP home edition.

So what's my best approach to get things going on my local machine?

Thanks.



Well I think found something that may work. Only one minor problem.
On one menu item the entries are in some language other than English.
Even prefering English makes no changes.
It has a built in server so it should help me out.
