Hi,
Listen Guys,
I'm New To This PHP shit :P so i downloaded an Ebook For Learning PHP
It says that in order to implement it needs a testing server.

so i made a php file with a simple echo code
and all i see is a blank page
i tried to upload it to 1asphost.com / domaindlx.com
but it doesn't work either..

Where did you installed PHP?
If you are testing it in your computer you need to install IIS or Apache too, in order to run PHP.
If using a host like Smokyhosts, just upload the file. You don't need to install anything in this case.
1asphost.com / domaindlx.com are ASP hosts, you can't use PHP there.

I installed php from it's offecil site..

I think it's very useful to have PHP and a web server on your own computer. You can test your scripts without need to upload and use bandwidth.
It happened to me once to write a wrong script that did an infinite loop and took all my bandwidth. :S

as i promissed u i'm placing a tutorial on how to create a web server on your cpu
Install web server from the very beginning Choose that version, that are written in tut, it will realy work, i have tried few times, and there wasn't any time, that i fail (in fact, one was, but i have skipped one step about mysql installation. Its my falt, not tutorial
)
but instead of apache web server, i offer u to install abyss web server. It's smaller, faster, has web GUI and free
Download server from
http://www.aprelium.com/downloads/
Support for it
http://www.aprelium.com/support/
Add php support into server
http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html
P.S. when installing PHP from installation file, when installer ask u to select server, choose
other
Good luck
If u have any question, post here or PM me
