[Phplib-users] New to PHP and PHPLIB

[Thomas W. <tw...@cr...>]

I have just joined the list. I like the quality of
the few messages I've seen.

I am not at all new to programming, but I am just
starting with PHP and web programming beyond simple
HTML. 

I want to set up a website using PHP, PHPLIB and MySQL.
I am going to develop the application on my own WinME
system before moving to an ISP with Unix, Apache, and PHP.

I have installed PHPTriad, which consists of Apache, PHP,
and MySQL. This sets up a 'localhost' server with the
home directory in C:\apache\htdocs.

1. I have extracted 'phplib-7.2d.tar/gz' into
c:\apache\php\phplib-7.2d. Right?

2. I have obtained the Zend-IDE
'ZendIDEClient-TestDrive-1.1.0-Windows'. The Zend website 
says the ZendIDE is only for Win2000. I saw somewhere that 
the Zend-IDE is written in Java, which probably means it 
was developed from NetBeans, which does run in WinME.
So, will the Zend-IDE work on my WinME PHPTriad setup?

3. There seems to be no way to contact Zend to ask 
questions. My questions to the two Zenders whose names
I got from the phplib mail archives have gone on answered. 
Is this list or somewhere else the place to get answers?

I like the practical nature of this list.

Thank you.

Tom Widlar.
