PHP personal server

[marcato15]

I am trying to find a server to download so I can run php scripts from my laptop. Do you know of any good ones.

I would recommend Apache, since it's free and there's a good chance you can use it on live sites as well as for testing. If you are using Windows, check out one of the Apache/MySQL/PHP combined packages such as WAMP (http://www.wampserver.com/en/). (I've not tried WAMP myself, since I'm not using Windows, but my brother gets on well with it.)

WAMP server works well when you are running of the default port (and if you are on a laptop, they you probably will be running off of port 80) Its great if you want a quick setup! Much easier to use wmap with php installed then getting appache and php seporate and setting them up if you are new to it like i am

i found it easy using PhpTriad on my laptop to test and debugg scripts. The bundle installs, Apache, PHP and MYSQL..its a very complete solution...here is the download

I use EasyPHP. You'll need an english patch for it though if you want to use it.
