What OS? If Windows I would either get a self installing version or the .zip file from http://www.firepages.com.au/bundle.php3
These versions run as CGI modules...
With Linux, just get the code, untar it, compile it, and your setssegraves [at] gmail.com

Download it from http://www.php.net and read the Docs or go to http://www.php4win.de uif you are on a windows machine
Please don't PM me with questions.
Use the forums, that is what they are here for.

Ok guys, I've just installed the firepages bundle and tested the installation. Everything went fine.
So where should I put my php files into (I mean which folder should I put the file in) so that I could test the php page on the browser. Besides, which of the extensions should I name the file (php, php3 or php4 ?) ?
Thanks !

I believe with V2.0 of the bundle the files go in the www directory. I would name all files .php
Your files will be accessible from http://localhost/filename.php
OR if you have a subdirectory
http://localhost/subdirectory/filename.phpssegraves [at] gmail.com

I used V2.0 of the bundle. But when I try to display any PHP files on the browser, a Open With window would open and ask me what app would I like to use to open the php file meaning that they do not regconise the php file.
What's the equivalent of http://localhost ? Is is c:\ or what ? (I.e Where should I place my php files on the hard disk? )
Please help, thanks !

As Hartmann indicated above, documents placed in the www directory will be accessible under http://localhost/ in your Web browser.
