anyway back to topic. You dont install "php" m8 php is a language. do you wish to host a php based website on your computer or do you wish to install a php script on a webserver?

In all seriousness, storm is a bit right.
PHP is a language.
You do need to install what is required to decode it on your PC though to test PHP pages offline.
Usually PHP is read by the servers that PHP sites are on, changing it into usuable HTML code.

"EasyPHP" sets your PC up as a server running PHP so as long as you put your PHP files in the server root (set by easyPHP) you should be able to use and practise with them.

Its instructions are French but its not tough to use, and I imagine you can get it from download.com.

Then you need EasyPHP

See my post.
Panther knows where it can be got from.
It sets your PC up as an apache server using PHP language.
