Set up a PHP and MySQL development environment

Brett McLaughlin, Author and editor, O'Reilly and Associates

Brett McLaughlin has worked in computers since the Logo days (remember the little triangle?). In recent years, he's become a well-known author and programmer in the Java and XML communities. He's worked for Nextel Communications, implementing complex enterprise systems; at Lutris Technologies, writing application servers; and most recently at O'Reilly Media, where he continues to write and edit books that matter. His most recent book, Java 1.5 Tiger: A Developer's Notebook , is the first book available on the newest version of Java technology, and his classic Java and XML remains one of the definitive works on using XML technologies in the Java language.

Summary: This tutorial demonstrates how to set up the Apache Web server, the PHP interpreter, and a MySQL database as a development environment on a Windows XP machine.
