Today I am going to show you how you can install PHP and other assisting software in your machine locally. You would be working on your own web server soon. Cheers..!!
How do I install PHP on Windows 10 ?
For Windows machines, there is one tool called as XAMPP which is a complete set of softwares and tools required for web development. XAMPP includes Apache Server, MySQL, PHP and Perl (eerl…we will talk about it later)
X: [cross platform operating systems] meaning it can run on any OS Mac OX , Windows , Linux etc.
Apache: a local server to deploy you development to test applications
MySQL: PHP always comes with MySQL
PHP: You already know about it, right..?
Perl: Perl is a family of two high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages.
So let’s download XAMPP from our Friends here.
Download PHP 7 (its latest version as I am writing this post) and according to your system configuration select 64 bit or 32 bit
Installation XAMPP is just like installing any other windows program.
