Running on Windows

[ltempest]

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to this site, but looks like a great site. I love PHP and am just getting to grips with it. We have a number of clients that wish to use database driven websites and private 'log in areas' on their sites. I have read on numerous sites that you can run PHP on a Windows/NT box but am unsure as to how to do it, and does the authenticating login PHP script run on the Wintel boxes, as one site said that after installing the PHP module the authenticating would not work?

Sorry its such a long/vague question but I'm being pushed towards ASP otherwise and that is something I want to avoid! Thanks!

Download php from php.net and run the windows installer. Do the same with MySQL and Apache too.

authentication depends on which server you are running , with apache as the server you can use HTTP_AUTHENTICATION and .htaccess, you can also get mod_sspi for NT which allows for NT user authentication, which I am sure you can do via IIS as well...

basically the answer is yes, especially with apache.
