PHP is the most commonly used web language for building complex, flexible and interactive websites. The problem is that in order to test a PHP application, you will need to have a domain and web hosting account and also upload the PHP file online. Fortunately, you can test your PHP application without going through all much trouble, as you could just install EasyPHP. This Windows program installs a simple Apache web server into your system, together with mySQL and PHP support.

You do not need to customize or configure the installation process, as it will run automatically and install all the required files. After the program has been installed, you can test it just by typing in the IP address of your computer inside any web browser. At this point, a web interface will be displayed, in which the user can easily view the state of the server, PHP support and mySQL module. In order to test a PHP file, you can just upload it in the program's folder and then access it through your computer's IP address.

Optionally, in case the PHP file is linked to a mySQL database, you can configure this database using phpmyadmin, which can be accessed from the program's web interface. The interface also includes a code testing feature, which allows you to quickly and easily enter pieces of code and view their functionality. This feature is useful for testing the integrity of certain PHP functions and for making sure they work without any problems.

In case the user wants to thoroughly configure the application's module, he can access each configuration file from the system tray icon. Unfortunately, configuring modules should only be performed by experienced users, as a mistake could make the application unstable.

Pros

It installs a simple web server and mySQL database into your system, allowing you to test PHP and mySQL applications. Besides that, PHP files can be simply copied into the program's folder and accessed through the computer's IP address. Furthermore, each program module can be fully configured.

Cons

Configuring each module requires skill and experience and beginners may not manage in this situation. EasyPHP allows you to easily test your PHP and mySQL applications, without having to register to a domain and hosting provider.
