Install a PHP Development Environment with Eclipse PDT, Apache 2.2, PHP 5, MySQL 5, and phpMyAdmin Using XAMPP Lite  This tutorial shows you how to get a PHP development environment set up on Windows in about 30 minutes including download time, all with free tools. This is the FAST, JUST-GET-IT-DONE way to get PHP and MYSQL working on your computer and get up to speed working with Eclipse so you can start developing PHP/MySQL sites. (You might also be interested in my more technical version of this tutorial where you install Apache, PHP, MySQL manually and make dozens of settings in the config files thus learning lots about how it all works, etc.)This workshop has a screenshot and comment box on each step. You can post without registering. Good luck!
