I was unable to get the book CD working right, Lab and my home computer has Apache 2.0.52 and PHP5.0.

Then test your Apache Installation http://localhost you should see
Note after installing Apache you may need to start up the arrow in the fast launch icons

After PHP5.0 is properly install you should see
If your home computer has a server name you can replace localhost with your computer name.
Apache root is at c:/program files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs

PS If you plan on using Saddleback computers, you don't need to install these applications on your home computer.

Read up on PEAR, especially the Coding Standards

Write a PHP script. Which includes the scripts file name and PHP_VERSION. Note the scripts file name is just the file name of the PHP web page. In this example I output primes and the script file name. Look under magic constants for additional help.

Beginners: Write a PHP Script that counts from 1..10 using while, for, and do while loop. Your program should also kick out the square of each number. If you can put the numbers into an HTML table.

Programmers: Write a PHP Script that computes the factors of a number. Similar to example , if you can further modify this script so that only the prime factors are printed.
