ive got an all in one set up on my home machine but i think ill try install them seperately at work as it will be for full on hosting of a web application | |

yes if its only for testing then all in one is fine, if your doing full on hosting, better to install all the bits seperatly to allow full customisation | |

I saw that but decided to go for the challenge of installing everything seperately - is much easier to use an all in one installer as above - I'd recommend Steve's link over mine unless you'd like a bit of a challenge! | |

just download xampp it has apache php and mysql all inbuilt in the package, it sets it up all for you | |

I've got a home development machine at home here. Currently running Apache 1.3.35 with PHP 5.1 and MySQL Server 5.0. | |

its probably easier to setup than an access db, just install mysql and create a new instance in it, its quite straightforward and all GUI based | |

I have thought about it but wasnt sure how to go about it - i have never set the server side of things up before (this is my uni placement year) | |

for an accesss database you will need to create an ODBC datasource and give it a name, have you not considered using SQL? far better | |
