PHP Includes in DW

I'm doing a site that uses PHP includes. The problem for me is that any time I
want to see what I'm doing, I have to move files to a remote server and view
it. I have heard that I could install PHP server software locally and then run
local files through it, but I don't know the steps to doing that. Ideally, I
wish I could have DW actually SHOW me the page, within the includes, so at
least I could have the proper layout showing; as it is the screen is a mess. I
know DW shows regular server-side includes.

Unfortunately DW cannot show it. However, installing PHP is not too difficult.
First just download Apache (the zip file not the installer). Then unzip the
package and edit the http.conf file (basically just to say what address you
want to use for the webserver). Then for PHP just go to php.net and download
the source. Unzip the file to C:\PHP. Then to set up PHP to be used follow
the instructions http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php for
Apache 2. Then if you want mySQL just go to mySQL.com and download the
installer, that will set everything up for you. And if you have any problems
either myself or some other people here on the forums will be able to help you
along the way.

Thanks, SnakEyez, I'll try that out in a couple days when I get back to that job. I work in an IT shop full of programmers who don't know PHP but can certainly help me set up a server on my desktop.
