EasyPHP – Found It

Earlier in the quarter I mentioned finding a PHP emulator so you would not have to send your files to a server for testing and I finally found it (again). Go to easyphp.org and download the Windows version. This will install a local version of Apache (web server), PHP and MySQL onto your computer. You may have to modify the configuration (my recommendation is that if you are running IIS locally to change IIS to port 81 and leave EasyPHP as 80).

Please note that this is a beta build and not intended for production use.
