php tutorial

Step by step installation guide of php in window.

1) Download and install PHP from http://windows.php.net/download/

2) Unzip php. In my case, I unzipped to C:\php\

3) Rename C:\php\php.ini-development to php.ini

4) Edit your php.ini

Open php.ini in a text editor.

find doc_rootthen change it to point to whatever your Apache DocumentRoot is set to.

like: doc_root = “C:\public_html”

Find  extension_dir

and change like  extension_dir = “C:\php\ext”(remove the ; from in front of it also)

5) Editing Apache Conf File

Open httpd.conf in text editor

Location: should be start-menu shortcut “Apache HTTP Server 2.2 > Configure Apache Server > Edit the Apache httpd.conf Configuration File”.

Either at the very beginning or end of the file add the following lines:

         LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
	AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
	PHPIniDir "C:/php"

6) That's it now Testing

To test u jsut create a php file like phpinfo.php with the following codes

<?

phpinfo();

?>

Save it and put http://localhost/test.php in url...chk the output.
