Hi:
Okay, I am totally GREEN regarding MySQL and PHP, but have every intention of learning it. I have Windows XP Home as my operating system and was wondering if it is possible to install both MySQL and PHP on my operating system. The reason I want it on my system is for learning and testing purposes. I do not have a website yet, but do know for the database reason alone I will take this route. Can I install Windows version of MySQL and PHP on Windows XP Home? If so, do I have to install Apache also? I noticed a few comments regarding this and was unsure. Another question is whether anyone knows of a free provider that has MySQL and PHP? I am looking for just a few megabytes as this would be my testing site if I am unable to run MySQL and PHP on my system.
Thanks
Peter
