You need a web server with PHP support and access to a MySQL database.</p> <p>MySQL 4.1 is strongly recommended because of its support for varying character sets and collations (which aids internationalisation). Although earlier versions may work, version 4.0 is the oldest version that I actively support.</p> <p>A definitive minimum spec for PHP is a work-in-progress. PHP 4 and above are recommended.</p> <p>The built-in update check requires either fopen or cURL.</p> <p>The "remember me" checkbox at login uses a cookie. </p> http://www.alex-hardy.co.uk/forums/topic/what-host-are-you-using#post-5 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 11:34:16 +0000 Alex 5@http://www.alex-hardy.co.uk/forums/ <p>I want to gather a list of hosts that are proven to work with simpleContact.</p> <p>I'm hosting my website with <a href="http://www.34sp.com">34SP</a>. They are a UK company, based in Manchester. Their packages start at £17.95 per year and include PHP, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, cron and .htaccess. Uptime and customer support is excellent.</p> <p>Who do you use? </p> http://www.alex-hardy.co.uk/forums/topic/installing-a-local-php-mysql-development-server-on-mac-os-x#post-4 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:32:48 +0000 Alex 4@http://www.alex-hardy.co.uk/forums/ <p>I have written a blog post that gives a step-by-step guide to setting up a development server on a mac. This would be especially useful to a web developer with a laptop who wants to work and present while on the move.</p> <p><a href="http://www.alex-hardy.co.uk/2007/12/21/install-php-mysql-mac">Installing a local PHP MySQL development server on Mac OS X</a> </p>
