Using PHP

In order to work through the examples in this chapter and the rest of the book, you will
need access to a Web server with PHP installed.To get the most from the examples and
case studies, you should run them and try changing them.To do this, you’ll need a testbed
where you can experiment.
If PHP is not installed on your machine, you will need to begin by installing it, or
getting your system administrator to install it for you.You can find instructions for doing
so in Appendix A,“Installing PHP 4 and MySQL.”
