I need a way to practice using PHP and MySQL. But I have the following limitations:
1. My ISP requires me to change my URLs if I upgrade to its service which provides PHP and MySQL.
2. If I change my URLs, all of the resumes I already sent out would contain broken links.
3. My home computer is also used for audio production, which means no drivers or processes which install at startup.
4. Whatever the solution is, it must not be expensive.
You could use http://www.wampserver.com/en/ or XAMPP (to lazy to search for link ;P). It has most the feature's necessary and works fine. It has PHPmyadmin (Very handy for mysql). If you want to run a server from a USBstick I would recommend http://www.chsoftware.net/en/useware/wos/wos.htm
Good luck and Have Fun.
you can try http://viewerforphp.sourceforge.net
Everything is wrapped up in a single .exe file, that will not install anything or modify any settings.
