PHP MYSQL Simulation

[apg1985]

Can anyone help!

I want to learn php and mysql, but i dont want to have to connect to a server to do so.

Is there any programme or website I can use to do this??

Ive had a good like and i cant belive you have to install apache server php5 and mysql to practise this code.

Hi, It's very unique request of yours.
I just don't understand why you learn mysql if you don't even want to install software?
Use SourceForge.net: PHP Triad for Windows software, it installs everything PHP+Mysql+Apache in 1 minute.
Good luck.

I'm totally new to php and mysql so when it starts asking for connection details it looks abit scary.

I'd rather learn it first then put it into action.

but thanks for the url ill take a look at it.

With software link I gave you, it does not ask anything, but here is defaults that would suite for almost any installation

connection details for Apache:

host: localhost
port: 80

for MySQL:

host: localhost
username: whatever you choose (root) usually
password: can be empty


When you done installing software, your PC will act as a WEB SERVER with Database running in the background. And your internal URL for testing will be IP: 127.0.0.1 or localhost, in other words, just open your browser and enter
url: http://localhost/

LOL! I know it's scary, it was scary for me 1st time too, but when u do it couple times, it's like peace of cake, try it, you'll see yourself.
