[Year 12 IT Apps] Advice on running a PHP/MYSQL course? (Lee, James)

[WEIR Andrew]

Some of my students run server2go with notepad++
Just change the save locations under preferences to match the
directory's of sever2go. And it uploads like and other editor. Also make
sure students have permission to run Exe files of memory bars as
server2go launches it's own copy of IE.

Personally I run a dedicated server (old Desktop being replaced by a
virtual machine) used Kevorks book. Machine has remained largely
untouched since 2008. Just updates and upgrades.

Takes about 2 hours to do all the steps in the book, just made a small
change as I use Dreamweaver on front-page.

I have some spare USB drives incase there are students without.
I put server2go on them so that each student has there own webserver and
so that they can also do some of this for homework.
Works very well.
I get them to do a lot of screencasts of their work where they
demonstrate how they validate their work

Hey peoples,

Does anyone know the easiest best way to set up PHP/MYSQL to work in a
computer lab, so
students can create and test their PHP work easily in a localised way
that
doesn't involve
uploading to a web server every time you change something?

Any suggestions on the best way to teach PHP as well? Target audience
are
year 9s.

Any advice is appreciated,
Thanks
James Lee
