PHP intros
I know this is a common thread topic, and I probably could have just searched, but please bear with me, I'm working two fulltime jobs right now and I only get about an hour a day to access message boards and fun stuff. I just need a couple pointers to an intro on PHP/Apache and some useful tools for updating stuff. This is for one of my jobs, and right now I'm updating manually with a text-editor.

Re:PHP intros
I recommend reading the docs on http://www.php.net, not only are they the best docs out there, but they are official. ;D
I myself use dev php for my php coding. http://devphp.sourceforge.net/
If you want a quick start to install php, mysql, and apache and have it work from the start try this out: http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcefor ... d2-2-1.exe
It will install and configure apache, php, and mysql for you, of course you will still need to do some modifying to get it ready for a production server.
If you have any questions about PHP be sure to ask me because I am the PHP wiz around here. ;D

Re:PHP intros
Thanks. I'm actually just going to set up my box as a server so I can do live tests of code changes and stuff like that, then load the changed portions to the real web host.
As usual, you've come through, Chris.

Re:PHP intros
Well, I'm a bit confused right now. I successfully built and installed Apache 2.something. I then successfully built php, but it asked me to configure it with a line like ./configure --path=<apache search path> The only problem is that I used the most recent form of PHP, but the documentation insists that need an _older_ version of Apache... something like 1.4. Is this true or am I sniffing glue?

Re:PHP intros
Yes, but I apparently have been sniffiing glue. I was reading my O'reilly PHP book today, and it suggested using Apache 1.3.x for PHP which is consistent with the docs included in my PHP download.

Re:PHP intros
Well I can't offer you much help with installing php itself... or apache... because I use the windows installer. :-\

Re:PHP intros
Oh, that's fine. I'm actually going to install RedHat 9 with the BIG installation pretty soon, since I got a much bigger hard drive. I'll probably max out my 8 gig with a bloated installation of RH because I'm tired of always hunting down dependencies. Then I can just use my big drive for data.
But I digress...
Does anyone know of a good PHP IDE for Linux?
