Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver

Setting up PHP for Windows

PHP pages need to be processed through a web server. So, to develop with PHP in Dreamweaver, you need access to a PHP-enabled web server and the MySQL database. It's also useful to have phpMyAdmin, a graphical interface to MySQL. All three components are open source software that you can use for developing, testing, and deploying web applications–and they are free!

You can install each one independently, but the quickest and easiest way is to use an all-in-one solution. The one chosen for this tutorial is XAMPP. If you already have a working PHP/MySQL environment, or want to use a different all-in-one installer, such as WampServer (http://www.wampserver.com/en/)
