How to Install xampp?
Download PHP installers from Download software.
I prefer Xampp installer (the second one in the above link) and I use xampp only.
Save file on desktop or c:\program files.
After software is downloaded completely, double click the file (goto file location where you saved).
While installing is in progress, it may ask you to continue as service then click yes button.
You may have to click 3 times Yes as you would be prompted 3 times for different services.
Great! you finsihed installation step.
Where to create PHP code?
Open PHP editor or Notepad.
Write some php code.
Save the coded file as index.php (case sensitive) in htdocs folder (it would be c:\program files\xampp\htdocs).
How to run the php file you just created?
Open xampp (click on the desktop icon).
Start each of the first 2 services by clicking start button on xampp.
Note: If you see services to be running ie; Running... with Stop button visible nothing to do as it means services were already in start state.
Open browser (Mozilla or Internet or any make) and type http://localhost/index.php
Hurray! the coded file runs and works!
How to manage sql and php etc; using xampp?
Open browser (Mozilla or Internet or any make) and type http://localhost/xampp/index.php or simply type localhost.
You can see different links on left side panel.
Do some research on each link and you get all to work.
Now your system is not an ordinary system, its just a server!
How to make system a public server?
Contact your ISP or internet connection provider.
Get dedicated IP address for internet connection.
Configure IP using ifconfig in command prompt.
Now it becomes a public server where you can host others codes and websites.
You should have a valid public domain registered and do some zoning or configuring your system (its server now).
Beware of attacks when your system was made a public server. If you are seeing for safe and paid hosting see below.
