No, you won't have. It's at my house at the moment. Pop round sometime and
borrow it if you want. Just be sure to bring it back though! ;-)

Yup! You need to install a server on your PC (eg. Apache), download and
install PHP from
http://www.php.net, and then it should work. Just remember
that you can't just open "C:\My websites\phptestpage.php" like you could do
with an ordinary html page, it must be opened through the server, so
something like
http://localhost/phptestpage.php... If you have any probs
with the installation, there is extensive documentation at the php website.
If that fails you, I'm sure someone here will guide you through! :-)
You can save all this hassle by getting on the internet at home and then
ftp'ing your pages to some php-enabled web space if it is at all possible.
Cheers,
Nige
