With the popularity of PHP, more and more developers need an integrated PHP development environment to quickly build a working environment that can run PHP code. This article will lead you step by step to build an integrated PHP development environment.

1. Download and install Apache

First you need to download and install the Apache server. Visit the Apache official website (https://httpd.apache.org/) to download the latest version of the corresponding platform. Just unzip the compressed package and copy it to the target location.

2. Install the PHP program

Download the latest PHP program package and unzip it. Copy the PHP folder to the "htdocs" directory of the Apache server.

3. Detect whether PHP is available

In order to detect whether PHP is available, we need to enable the PHP module in the Apache server. Find the "httpd.conf" file in the Apache installation directory, open it with a text editor, and find the following line:

LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so

Change it to:

LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/php/libphp7.so

Then add the following content at the end of the file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Save and exit the text editor, and restart the Apache server.

4. Install MySQL

MySQL is a popular relational database management system. Download and install the latest version of MySQL Community Server. During the installation process, you can choose the installation path and default data and application installation location.

5. Install phpMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin is a popular MySQL management tool that can easily manage MySQL databases on the web. Download and copy it to the "htdocs" directory of the Apache server. Enter http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ on the web page to enter the phpMyAdmin management interface.

6. Test the PHP development environment built

Create a new index.php file in the "htdocs" directory of Apache and write the following code:

Save and close the text editor. Enter http://localhost/index.php in the browser. If you can see the PHP version and configuration information, it means that the PHP development environment has been set up successfully.

7. Summary

At this point, we have completed the entire process of building an integrated PHP development environment. Through the above steps, you can easily start the development of PHP projects and better understand the related knowledge of Apache, PHP and MySQL.
