Cool Software
Project_94February 23, 2011
Pros
Extremely small and works right out of the box and could work on a flash drive.
Cons
The software can only be use on non-commercial websites, because the license agreement states "Not to be used for commercial purposes (including developing commercial websites)" making it illegal to use on commercial websites.
Summary
Great software for students or web developers in non-profit organizations, making non-commercial websites. For commercial web developers, this software might as well not exist. That is why give it a two star.
One word: Fantastic

Pros
-Everything you need to test PHP -Small size -Easy to use -Portable -Doesn't need PHP to be installed -Allows debugging
Cons
-None, really
Summary
Far easier to use if you just want to test and debug a PHP script offline than Apache or IIS. I long since gave up on those. Strongly recommended!
OH WOW SO COOL!!!
