Hi Rick,
I develop php sites on Windows. There are packages available for Windows like
XAMPP and WAMP which install all required tools ( no IDE) for developing php
applications. My favorite is WAMP. Download it from
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
I don't use any ides for php, notepad is enough for most of the time. Also
download the latest php5 documentation in chm format from php.net. Very useful
for quick reference.
http://www.php.net/download-docs.php
After installation, the apache root will be localhost/. if you don't run iis
also it is not a problem. And your vs installation and wamp can also run side
by side without any problem.
Yes. php is used in Business layer, UI layer and every where. Unlike asp.net
the php code is directly inserted inside the html code. For example,
<html>
<head>
<title> Sample page </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo "Hello from Nirandas!";?>
</body>
</html>
Templating engines like smarty can be used to separate html design from code.

Subject: The PHP Environment and Accessibility
Hi Guys:
A fellow is developing a WebSite for a client in PHP, more contract work
available in PHP than in Windows Based WebSite building.
I remember some of the gang setting up systems to do work in PHP and MySql on
turn-key installers for such thingys.
First, what environment is used for UI, that is to generate html for UI
Objects, ListBox, TreeView etc. . .
Second, is PHP the Business Layer language?
Finally, What environment interfaces the select statements of the MySql
engine to the Business layer, for example Ado.net is used in Visual Studio
Projects?
Is there a solid turn-key system for installing this type of development
environment on a Windows Based Computer or is it better to load up a Linux box?
Finally, is any PHP based solution going to be as accessible as the Visual
Studio Environment?
If you have experience with this , just pop up a few short answers as I still
need to do my own homework.
This is to just help narrow my initial Google searches eliminating some of
the obvious InAccessibles or Irrelevants from what will likely be huge result
sets.
