A project I will be starting soon will require me to have a local webserver running. Well I don’t need a local one but it will be A LOT easier with a local webserver. You may have seen my article on how to enable PHP5 in the version of Apache that comes with OSX. This is even easier and you get Apache, MySql and PHP. What I am using for my mac is MAMP (you may have heard of LAMP). It is really easy to set up and get running. All I had to do was copy the folder to my applications folder and run the MAMP app. Simple! There is also a program like this for Windows called, you guessed it, WAMP. I haven’t actually used WAMP but its worth checking out if you wanted to run something like this on windows.
