Just get MAMP: http://mamp.info/en/index.php

There ya go...

[xELITEx]

ok i installed mamp. now what. i still dont know how to use it

[Sinzygy]

1) start MAMP (Applications->MAMP->MAMP)
2) read the readme.rtf
3)
   1. make a file called 'info.php' in you favorite editor.
   2. put the following code in this file:

Code: [Select]

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
   3. put the info.php file into the folder 'htdocs' in de MAMP folder
4) access it via 'localhost:8888/info.php' (no http in the browser bar is needed)

now you should see a page with a bunch of information. Now what version of PHP have you installed?

[xELITEx]

PHP Version 5.2.1

[Sinzygy]

good, in this case you're all set up to start working with PHP

Check my first post for what I'd suggest you do.

If its anything like easyphp you will have a www directory in there you can create other directories such as game1, game2, etc.  Then to browser to a sub-directory of www you would use http://localhost/game1, http://localhost/game2, etc.  Easy
