xphome/php help req

I am trying to test php pages on my xp home os without uploading to my server everytime. Can anyone please tell me any software to do this? Free software especially!

You can install PHP along side ISS I do beleive.
You can install apache and php.
Or you can find a program that will install apache php mysql and perl all at once, I use foxserve. This might be the best option if you are not sure of yourself on installing apache and php.

If you're not using IIS, try downloading Phptriad or Foxserve (http://sourceforge.net/projects/foxserv / [sourceforge.net...] which install everything you need.
