I have XAMMP installed on my workstation and I also have Visual Studio 2010 install on Windows 7 Ultimate. I also have SQL 2008 R2 installed. I have used Xampp for years and would like to know if this will work with the PHP for Visual Studio applications? Can I edit php files there? I also have DreamWeaver CS4 installed, so I am wondering what to use to create an application that uses PHP and C#.
The information in the Web installer is very extensive compared to setting up Xammp.
Actually I need to know if you have to used SQL with our developing for php and c# aplications. Xampp works fine for me but it uses MySQL. I use Dream Weaver as my GUI when writing code in php and it also includes the capabilities to write code in C#. Therefore I was wondering if this could be used instead of Visual Studio or if I can point Visual Studio to MySQL. The process discribed to get php to work listed on the Web Platform page is an extensive and confusing process.
Please help!!!
