web server

I had a late supper with my brother Fahmy and we talked a little bit about learning php & mysql.
I am glad that I now have a fellow amateur php learner to share experiences. As a first step you need to get yourself aquainted to Hotscripts.com which is a great resource website for free and commercial web scripts, applications and tools.
The next thing is to set up a personal webserver which is able to run php & mysql. I searched on hotscripts and found phpdev which provides all the webserver solutions in one bundled install package. This means it comes bundled with an Apache webserver, the mySQL server and the PHP intepreter.
