Easyphp

I quite remember the hurdle I went through getting a good apache+mysql software to test my PHP Applications locally before I uploaded them onto the net.

My problem was getting a one-stop-software that could satisfy all the basic needs in hosting a php website.

I used quite a number of softwares but one that stood out amongst the rest was EasyPHP.

EasyPHP technically had all that I wanted to do my php coding from image processing, xml parsing to code encryption. It has an inbuilt phpmyadmin as well to help you build your mysql database.

EasyPHP is a complete software package allowing to use all the power and the flexibility that offers the dynamic language PHP and the effecient use of databases under Windows. Package includes an Apache server, a MySQL database, a fully PHP execution, as well as easy development tools for your web site or your applications.

The current version is EASYPHP 2.0 beta 1, and it contains Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.2.0, MySQL 5.0.27, phpMyAdmin 2.9.1.1 and SQLiteManager 1.2.0.
