PHP Dive
Posted by nitestrike in : Dev , trackback
This week I have been busing myself with learning PHP. I downloaded Apache Web Server, PHP, and MSQL Data Base applications. I installed all three on my test machine, which is actually a VMWare instance.
The installations appeared to go smoothly, but found that the Apache server was not able to start after setting up PHP for Apache. Did not like that the PHP5 DLL was invalid, it now appears that it is a known issue. I was able to Google the error and found a little write up explaining to use the latest dev build of PHP5. And what do you know the Apache was able to start up and access the test PHP file I had created.
I’ve played with variables and displaying them. Read through most of the information at W3 Schools on PHP. Going to play around with what I’ve read and hopefully get the PHP to connect, read, and write data to MQL.
Welcome to my world, the weird, the wild, and the geekiness. OK not so much the wild.
