Is there any local php server program?

I want to make php web sites, but I need some programs, like local server php programs. What do you suggest me?

You can download apache for your webserver from

http://httpd.apache.org/

Php interpreter from

http://php.net/

In the php docs, you will find configuration info to make php work with apache. Install both of them and configure apache to recognise php. That's it. You are all set for developing php sites.

Hello
I thought there also are programs to local run php scripts without the need of installing apache.
Grtz.

To run the scripts you must install apache (or other web server) in some way shape or form. The easiest for a local test enviroment is Xampp. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Get an MSI installer for Apache. Set all domain configuration to 127.0.0.1 or localhost. Then install PHP and MySQL. Then, you're set. It'll allow you to test your PHP/MySQL scripts.
