PHP without a server...

Ok, so I'm runnting ot run some Wiki software on my machine for
personal organizational use. It requires PHP but things look ugly if I
try to run it right off the desktop. Is there a way to get this to
work without a web server?

When you say "web server", do you mean "web host"?

You can run a web server on your own machine - e.g. Apache
(http://apache.org).

You can run php without a web sever (cli scripts) but it's not going
to be displaying any Web Pages. It's sort of implied in the name; web
servers serve up web pages.

Take a look at my humble project: http://wapache.sourceforge.net/

Yeah, I guess I mean host.

Anyway, if I download Apache, I should be able to serve the php to
myself? i actually considered something like this using my old web
server since it allready runs Apache but I don't like the idea of havin
to bother with a second box sitting around.

I'll be honest, I don't really know much about all this.

I'll give that a try, though I prefer Firefox to IE, I can be flexible,
I don't have any real problems with IE.

Yes, if you install Apache, you can serve your own PHP.
Just follow the PHP installation instructions for apache.

But if you want no Server, you can try Instiki.
But you'll have to install Ruby though.

When I navigate from one page to the next the header and footer user controls lose their state because they are effectively different instances of the user control. Is there...

Hi, I'd like to my WCF webservice to work both on SSL and without. Unfortunately searching has led to dead ends, references to changes that only work on the old previous beta versions and I admit I am rather confused and frustrated. That being said, I'd like some direction in how exactly I'm supposed to accomplish this. Thanks very much, JK
