i am a student trying to learn php.i have a doubt about a sentence written in the textbook.the sentence is "upload the file to your web server", for that what i have to done.

Yoinked from google:

"A Web Server is a computer on the World Wide Web (connected to the Internet Backbone) that stores HTML documents that can be retrieved via a Web browser."

Everytime you visit a page on the Internet, you are connecting to a webserver which contains the HTML files that you see. When visiting a page, you download the files to your computer and see them on your browser. In order for PHP code to run, it needs to be placed within webserving software capable of running PHP code.

PHP is a server side scripting language.

In order for it to run, it needs to the PHP/Zend engine which, typically runs in a webserver environment. A popular setup, known as LAMP, is linux, apache, mysql and php. You can install your own development environment locally on your own computer, if it's just for yourself to view and play with.

I think you can download complete packages which include Apache (the webserver) and MySQL the database system and PHP.

A quick google found me this: http://www.uniformserv er.com/

Give it a try.

try to use a few guides like;

Setup IIS: http://www.no-ip.com/support/guides/web_servers/setting_up_iis. html

Setup PHP: http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache: yTz0BS84V6YJ:ww w.webmasterstop .com/123.html+setup+ php+server&hl=n l&gl=nl&ct=clnk &cd=1

IIS is a webserver (suitable for a windows-based computer) just like Apache which is more used on a Linux-based system.
So when you choose for IIS , you don't longer need to install Apache :)

As soon as you've installed IIS and the PHPsoftware, you are able to run PHPscripts on your own computer

I hope you understand it a little bit :)
