Part 6: Run the scripts |
| All
that is needed now to see your hard work is to run the scripts! |
1.
|
Download xampp
off the Internet. XAMPP is a collection of free software for
installing
and using the Apache Web server. Basically, it is an Apache
distribution that includes the Apache Web server, MySQL, PHP, Perl an
FTP server and phpMyAdmin. XAMPP is available for Linux, Solaris and
Windows. According to the Apache Friends Web site, "The philosophy
behind XAMPP is to build an easy-to-install distribution for developers
to get into the world of Apache." |
2.
|
After installation, use
the control panel to start xampp .
|
3.
|
Copy your register.php
file into xampp/htdocs or the directory in which you installed xampp.
|
4.
|
Open your web browser and
type http://localhost/register.php in the address bar and hit enter.
|
5.
|
Fill out the form and hit
Register. Unfortunately you will get an error telling you that
the server "can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'" until
you complete the rest of the web application, and install and run MySQL.
