nootkan Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I've just now decided to try and learn php again as I've tried in the past and failed. I have PHP for the Web Fourth Edition. I am trying to figure out what version of wamp I should install on my computer as my hosts server has these specs: php=5.3.27, apache=2.2.25, mysql=5.5.36. I was looking at something called "EasyWamp 1.1" as "Wamp" is for php 5.5 and I cannot seem to find an older version that will work with php 5.3.27. Am I going to find that I cannot use a wamp server because of my choice (or no choice) to keep php 5.3.27? Thanks for your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I normally recommend http://www.ampps.com/ or https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nootkan Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks Larry, unfortunately everyone seems to be providing their packages for php 5.5 and the server that hosts my website has php5.3.27. I don't have the option to upgrade to 5.5 until a script that I use upgrades and I need the script so I am stuck with the lower version of php. Can I still use a newer version of a local server script with your book and my remote server setup to learn php? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yes, you'll be fine. Just pay attention to anytime in the book I mention something that requires a specific version of PHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
