You also need to have PHP installed on your pc to use it as a local development platform. I suggest going with Apache2Triad available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/apache2t... It automatically installs PHP integrated with MySQL. I used this setup to develop the website http://www.toucanmultimedia.com

Other Replys:You need to enable IIS on your PC (it comes with Windows 200 Professional and XP Professional) and then configure PHP to run under IIS:

Alternatively, you can install Apache and then configure PHP to run under Apache:
