hi,

I want to start learning php....

but i dont knw how to run it i mean is there any free compilers available. i tried installing apache and php bt couldnt figure it :(

help please

There are all-in-one programs that bunch together Apache, MySQL, and PHP. The one I use is EasyPHP, and despite it's other-language originals (French, I think) does a pretty good job for me.

You can simply run the php.exe (php5) command line processor and redirect its output to a HTML file:

php inputfile.php > outputfile.html

It's not as easy as using a web server and PHP, but it gets the job done.

Another one is wamp

And uhm, download the php manual and read (personally I find the chm version easiest to read and use as a reference).

download apache friends.. its its apache server with php already in it in one easy install.exe
