The quickest way I found to install PHP and MySQL was to download the Bitnami WAMP stack module, which also installs a fresh Apache 2 server. See:
\nhttps:\/\/bitnami.com\/stack\/wamp<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The installer I found for Windows 10 was called “bitnami-wampstack-7.1.14-0-windows-x64-installer.exe”. In running the installation, Bitnami creates a folder for apache2, php, and mysql here:<\/p>\n

C:\\Bitnami\\wampstack-7.1.14-0<\/pre>\n
Bitnami also comes with a server manager that looks like this:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
PHP<\/h2>\n
One thing Bitnami doesn’t do is set the PHP path in your PC’s Path variable. After setting this, I checked the version of PHP at the command line using the command\u00a0php -v<\/code>.<\/p>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Another way to confirm the installation of PHP is to call a PHP script from the server. For example, this script called “version.php”\u00a0 was called from localhost on my server at:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/localhost\/version.php<\/pre>\n
This script provides lots of details about the PHP version and environment using a built-in PHP function called phpinfo()<\/code>:<\/p>\n
<?php\r\n\r\nphpinfo();\r\n\r\n?><\/pre>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
MySQL<\/h2>\n
Once MySQL is added to your system path (ending with bin), for example:<\/p>\n
C:\\Bitnami\\wampstack-7.1.14-0\\mysql\\bin<\/pre>\n
You can use the command line to get the version of MySQL installed using the command mysql -V<\/code>. For example:<\/p>\n
