Version 3:...! Firstly.. for notification of upgrades & bug reports - please leave your e-mail address here -NOTE - this is not required , just preferred :) Firepages does not run mailing lists etc - this address will only be used for updates/bug reports on the phpdev3 package) Important - please read this! download and extract the zip file to c:/ the bundle is pre configured for installation in c:/phpdev3/etc... if you extract to c: the zip file will take care of the rest - if you try and extract to c:/phpdev3 or c/unzipped/ or c:/temp etc - then it 'ain't gonna work - start out by extracting to c:/ have a play and then later on you can move it elsewhere - noting that this means altering PHP's .ini file and Apaches httpd.conf files. That's it ... when you have unzipped the bundle - just go it windows explorer to c:/phpdev3/ and double click the 95_98_start .bat file - open your favourite web-browser and type in http://localhost and you are off! - Win NT and 2K users will have to start Apache and MySQL separately. Note.... The first time you run the 95_98_start.bat file, a MySQL dialog box will ask you for your password - hit cancel - you do not need to adjust this yet! Windows 95 users ... if you do not have winsock - you will need this winsock update From MS is here - and I would strongly recommend that you take a look! Or download phpdev3 now from here if you prefer As before - the best place for questions is Firethreads dev forums I will be putting up a faq page soon !......
