I used to use Apache / MySQL / PHP on Windows, but now I just use easy PHP. If I need “AMP” I use Linux. Easy PHP is ok for basic stuff…

XAMPP, EasyPHP and WAMP are very interesting to use…and it saves much time to start development…However, I prefer to install Apache, MySQL and PHP separately (Either on Linux or Windows). This helps to have a better control on what you are doing. Sad to see that many web developers avoid doing this, and jump to easy solutions…nevermind, as far as the job is well done, it’s good!

It depends what you are doing, if you are just hacking around then running on localhost is a timesaver, no FTP required, unless you mean you are using a text editor on the remote…

I have used this in the past but I still find it easier to use a real server. That server can either be on the internet or in another room of my house.

Yeah Linux is definately the way to go if you know how to use it, simply because you are likely to host on linux…. carriage return characters etc are consistent, also, adding additional libraries to PHP is a lot easier…

Thanks for the information. These two options are probably easier than using my linux test server. I still like using the linux box but will give these a go as well.

Nope, I mean you unzip it to a directory, fire up the program and it will run AMP. Stop running the program and AMP shuts off. So XAMPP includes everything you need to test your php scripts

Ill have to give XAMPP a go. You say it does not require installation, that implies you still have to install “AMP”?

If that is the case, then Easy PHP is probably…. easier as the installation puts “AMP” on for you, i.e. one install deploys the whole platform.

I am sure it has its limitations, I don’t know how difficult it is to add additional libraries…
