    PHP error


    Hi, i am trying to install php on my window 7 pro 32bit.

    When i am installing php it gives me an error half way saying it encountered an unexpected error installing this package with an error code 2738.

    I have tried the regstv jscript.dll and regstv vbscript.dll but still unable to install.

    Can anyone help me with solving this problem.

    I will suggest a program called wamp.

    Install PHP 5 Apache MySQL on Windows : WampServer

    Agreed. Most everyone I asked back in the day recommend to just install a package (I use XAMPP). Installing the apps individually is possible but configuring them to actually work together is a huge pain. Even the guys who knew how to told me not to bother and just use XAMPP.

    You can get it here: apache friends - xampp

    Besides if you are going to learn it its normally smart to have a real server cause my "test software" never displayed it the same my actual server does. So i ended up removing my test software creating blahblahbalh.blah/sdafjasdhf/test/asldf so I could test my site from my real server and not the software.

    I had thought about that cause I used that on my server, didn't know if it worked on Win7 and doesn't that only install to IIS??
