Hello,
I was wanting to write my own Php programming environment using Visual basic but I can't figure out anyway to compile the Php using the Php engine itself without having it set up on a webserver.
Does anyone know a way to either load a Php page without executing it through a server or a way to set up a small server automatically on a computer and properly install the php engine so that it could be executed?
Thanks for any help you can give,
Steven Hickerson
Nevermind I think I found something that I can make work.
PHPTriad is a free program that can be distributed freely that installs a server, mysql, and php on a windows based system. I can install it, shell the command to start apache and mysql then when I want to preview the php document I'll just save it as a temp file in the c:\apache\htdocs directory and then use the internet control in visual basic to go to http://localhost/temp.php
I'll just have to figure out the MySql a little more and how to incoporate it into the mix.
