Someone who gives it a thought of using PHP , apache and stuff for the first time will be faced up with a few number of fixed problems . Configuring your apache server , establishing a connection between PHP and apache , stuffs like that . Here is a basic introduction to start using these things and kick off as a web programmer .
Obviously you need to have PHP and apache installed on your system .
$ : sudo apt-get install apache2
$ : sudo apt-get install php5-cli
$: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
would get you apache and PHP installed on your system .
Using the appropriate versions is left upto individuals .
Just have a peep into some of the files like :
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini -----> You would see a lot of variables set to 'ON' and 'OFF' . You may well have to toggle those values as and when necessary .
Try starting , stopping and restarting your apache web server .
$ :sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
$: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
$: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Once everything is fine and and perfect , try out your first PHP script . Script it , save it in a file with a '.php' extension and put your file in the directory '/var/www '. Now you could access this script from your browser
localhost/'scriptname'
and you see the result right there in front of you . Thats just how you enter the world of web programming .
