Hello guys..

This is my first time to post a topic here, this sounds to be helpful to all beginner and advance php developer.

I want to use and develop my own webpage using the latest version of php and the latest version of apache but where to start, what do all i need to install to run and start developing.

I'm using windows xp prof.
Thanks to all and I'm looking forward to this..

Thanks..

The absolute easiest thing would be to use a free (or paid) webhosting company -- and not do it locally.

The second easiest way (as I was provided when I asked a similar question) was XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html), which automatically installs Apache v2.2.6, PHP v5.2.4 and phpMyAdmin v2.11.1 (and mysql)

Otherwise you'd have to go to all the company pages and download each program separately, and I believe they have to be installed in a particular order -- but I also believe that each installation "readme" tells you that, and even says how to install them.

But for simplicity, the XAMPP would be the easiest way to go if you had to develop on your home/work PC.
