Is there any way of...

I wish to be able to run php files on my local computer without havng to transfer them to my server. Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks a lot

Install a web server and PHP on your local machine.

What if the computer that I use dosen't have the internet, will it still work? Also I already have a webserver on one of my computers and it is kind-of annoying, is there no way that I could just view them like you would with HTML files?

The computer does not need to be connected to the internet. You need a webserver and php installed to view php pages. I am curious? what is annoying about the webserver?

Thanks.

I just don't like them. I buy hosting.

They require you to save webpages in funny places. I have xitami on this computer and I have to save all the pages I want displayed iin citamiwebpages and I would rather save them in My Documents (seeing as they are there already). I have heard though that xitami is configurable and that I might be able to get it to show files in My Documents.

Also, I don't fully understand them so when I installed it, it kept asking me awkward questions that I didn't understand.

thanks again!
