Heads First PHP and MySQL download issues with Windows 7

Edit Subject

I have the Heads First PHP and MySQL ebook and hardcover. I have Windows 7, not Windows XP. I want to download PHP, MySQL and either the Apache or Windows 7 compatible server. What should I download?

Hi Robin,

Have you checked out Appendix ii of the book? It walks you through the installation of Apache, PHP, and MySQL. The only differences are you would want to use these versions with Windows 7 -

* http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#... Win32 Binary without crypto (no mod_ssl) (MSI Installer):
* http://windows.php.net/download/ PHP 5.3 (5.3.14) (download the one with the installer)
* http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/... MySQL Community Server 5.5.25

I hope that helps,
Chris Olson
