Install EasyPHP
Download EasyPHP from the website http://www.easyphp.org/ double-click on the downloaded executable

Run EasyPHP We are not really running EasyPHP as such: we are really a starting up Apache and MySQL. After installation, a short cut to EasyPHP is created in the directory "Start/Programs/EasyPHP". When EasyPHP is launched, an icon appears beside the clock [1]. A right-click gives access to various menus [2]: Help: help on EasyPHP
Log Files: record errors generated by Apache, MySQL and EasyPHP Configuration: gives access to various configuration tools Explorer: open the directory "www" in Windows Explorer Administration : opens the administration page
Web local : opens local web Restart : restarts Apache and MySQL Start/Stop : Starts/Stops Apache and MySQL Quit : closes EasyPHP
Use the directory "www" or an alias
You must place your files either in the directory "www" or an alias that you have created, so that PHP can interpret your PHP
pages. To view your pages, select "local Web" or an Alias on the "Administration" page.
Your first PHP page
There are many ways to program in PHP and there are many suitable text editors (eg specialized for HTML or PHP with syntax
highlighting etc). In this example we will use a simple text editor
Open a new file.
Type the structure of an HTML page.
Saving the page.
Create a new directory in the directory "www" (or in an alias). Save your first PHP page there giving it one of the following
extensions: php (recommended), php3, php4.
This is not an absolute rule, but will function with this configuration of EasyPHP. It may necessary to modify these
extensions if you choose to upload your pages to a web server which has a different configuration.
For our example we choose the extension .php
Rq: make sure in the screen options of Windows that the extensions of the files whose type is known are visible.
See the result.
DO NOT DO THIS: in Windows Explorer go to the directory "www" (or the directory of an alias) then the directory corresponding
to your project and double-click on your example file. You will get an error message.
DO THIS : Launch EasyPHP, open "local Web", select your work directory (or an alias) then click on "date.php". You will see a
web page which will shows the current date; for example: "current Date: Wednesday March 22, 2006".
It is now up to you to create your own PHP pages.
