Hello everybody !!!!
I'm totaly lost ...
I need to install php on my computer, to configure a forum...
Anyway, the server will be elsewhere, on a local server.
BUT, to configure everything, I need to install PHP on my Mac...
The problem is : I downloaded php from the official site, installed it as well as mysql, but...
When I want to open the pages in DW, and to preview them in the browser, it asks me to define a server. So, I chose PHP & MySQL, but, no way to make it work...
I browsed through the DW help, but I couldn't understand how to define my localhost...
Do you have some suggestions ?
A simple way to configure php, so that I can preview the pages in the navigator...
Thanks !!!!!
NesS

PS : I tried to install easyphp, which works perfectly on my PC, but there is nothing for mac...

you must install a webserver (local) on other machines it is called Apache (for example)

Actually, Apache is already on Mac Os X
I finally managed it, by installing PHP, MySQL and PhpMyAdmin... It was a terrible thing, configuring MySQL via the command line.. lol !!!
But now, everything is working perfectly, and I'm confronted to a new problem : configuring the server where everything will be, and this wonderful machine (...) is running on a Ooooold version of Solaris... lol !!!! :)
