haha like the title

download xampp for windows apache friends - xampp

this will install mysql,php and apache on your machine and also phpmyadmin so you can test out stuff locally. this will install a control panel icon on your desktop, once installed click it to check if it running.

also once installed, type localhost in the browser to check if it works, if it does you'll see a screen with the xampp logo appear and explains what to do to access phpmyadmin.

when testing stuff you need to place files inside the htdocs folder which is located at C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs, when you do this you can then type localhost in the browser and the page will appear. however id make a test folder in the htdocs folder and put your files in there then when you want to test them, say your folder you created is called test, you'd browse to

localhost/test/page-you-put-in-the-test-folder.html
