What is the best way of testing a PHP file locally, w/o uploading it to a server?

Im trying to test out my new PHP-Nuke module for my clan, but I dont feel liek constantly uploading it...

You would have to install Apache or IIS on your computer. Then you will need to install PHP.
If you are trying to get something for PHP Nuke working then you are going to have to install PHP Nuke on your local web server. Then you are probably going to have to setup your MySQL server so that your computer can connect to the PHP Nuke database.

if that all sounds too much have a look at this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phptriad/
theres another slightly more mature one on SF as well but can't remember the name. basically it installs all the software you need, of course you'll still have to set up PHP-Nuke.
here's some others that might help: http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_ … rch=Search

Install Apache, then PHP. It's quite easy and only requires editing a couple config files. Youll also need MySQL installed for PHPnuke.

why bother doing this. just go to sourceforge and get it all in one.
IE. i uses easy php cause it has what i need. Just decide what u need and search for it. sourceforge will more than likey have it.

PHP files are just normal text files so you can view them in notepad, but if you want all the fancy colouring you'll need an IDE with PHP support, I use Zend studio but theres also DreamWeaver and several PHP plugins for Eclipse (plus loads others if you google it).
