Is there a way for PHP to run in Windows 98 so I won't have to go online and test it?

YEs. You can download a free version of NuSphere MySQL in http://www.nusphere.com

It will let you have: PHP, MySQL, Apache Webserver, Perl/CGI, SSL, phpMyAdmin, etc.

Another easy way is to have PHP run on Personal Web Server (PWS) which comes on the Windows 98 CD.

Can you sumarize that? Which one should I read? I don't know what PWS/IIS 3 OR PWS 4 mean.

Where's that?

Well, yes it's : EasyPHP
I don't remember the url. But the thing I remember is that the official site is in french but there others in english too. Just use google with search keyword easyphp and you'll see. Really easy... I used it time ago. It will install all the needed stuff to run php. Even if I used it just for PhpNuke and not for other php stuff. Hope I've helped. If I remember well you'll have , but I'm not sure you'll need a mysql hosted somewhere. But not sure.

If you can wait a moment , I'll check it out and give you some help. Ok?

Well, the language is a real problem. Because I tried to install it just a minute ago, and even if I changed the settings to english keeps talking french. Although if you know the basics when you'll install it you will find the way. Sorry I didn't help that much. The time I used it I had an english version (cd of a magazine).

Do not run PHP on PWS or IIS. Why? Coz PHP sometimes acts weird on PWS and IIS. Specially when using mysql functionality.

What is PWS / IIS?

Microsoft web servers. You probably already have PWS (Personal Web Server).

PWS = Personal Web Server
IIS - Internet Information Server

Both are Microsoft Web Servers. Both are tailor made to execute ASP scripts not PHP scripts. If you downloaded the PHP binary, you can make PHP run on these servers. But as I have said, it's not going to work as smoothly as when it is run in Apache.
