PHP, Apache and MySQL

I spent the most part of this morning (and afternoon) installing a web server on my laptop, so I can do some coding over Christmas when I go home :)

I managed to find a really good guide by a guy(?) called Amit Arora for installing PHP, Apache and MySQL onto a windows box so I thought i'd link it :)

Just to add to his guide, if you want to use some of the PHP libraries for Curl, xml-rpc, GD, mhash and others, (after ammending the php.ini file) you may need to add the relevant libraries and dll's to the Windows->System32 folder (including libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll which are used by Curl).

There also seems to no longer be a need for a php5ts.lib file.
