@uspry1
I'm making use of Apache2triad, how do I activate it to work over my network so that other computers connected to mine can access files in my htdoc folders?

1) Visit the link below to download ur free beginners sample ebook of "Build ur own database driven website using PHP & Mysql"
http://www.sitepoint.com/books/phpmysql1/signoff.php



2) Download PHP for free from http://www.php.net/downloads.php. You’ll want
the PHP 5.x zip package under Windows Binaries; avoid the installer version if you
can.



3) MySQL may be downloaded free of charge. Simply proceed
to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html

*I choose MySQL 5.0 for you because it is a recommended stable release


I hope this helps.
