Okay, I'm going to need almost step-by-step instructions on setting up PHP to run on my PC. I tried before, and I ran into some problems. So now, if anyone could be so kind as to guide me through the process, I would be most greatful.

Now...where do I start?

Start by telling us what server you are using (and version) and what version of PHP. Also, what OS are you using? Windows or Linux? If Windows, did you make sure you download the Windows Binary?

First of all, I'm not currently running any server, and I don't have any version of PHP downloaded. That's basically where I need help. I have no idea what I'm doing here...

Anyhoo, for OS I'm running WinXP Home.

Download foxserv:

And it will install for you, PHP, Apache server, MYSQL database and PHPMyadmin.
All together with no mistakes.
Maybe it is the best option!

Okay, I downloaded FoxServ, but when I try to open it, a warning pops up that says: " *file path* is not a valid Win32 Application."
