I want to develop a webpage and have it connected to SQL server to transport data in and out. I am certain that I will have to use PHP. The question is, do I need a specific platform for PHP or it can be done on any text edit like HTML,JAVA etc.
thanks
Rajat
You seem like quite a beginner, so I'll give you somewhere to start.
What do we need?
A webserver (Local or hosted somewhere)
A platform to receive and process HTTP requests - E.g. Apache / Nginx / etc
A web processing language - PHP / Django / etc
A SQL server e.g. MySQL
What should you do?
Download WAMPSERVER on your PC and learn the basics of how this all works. Your site won't be instantly viewable online, but you can learn how to code and you can deal with a local MySQL database with an apache and php backend.
You have to install wampserver for database setup and Netbeans IDE for editing the PHP code. Netbeans also helped If you are using java. You have to install JDK first for installing netbeans. If you don't want to install netbeans, SublimeText is best editor for PHP.

I just started learning PHP through online videos, I have also installed notepad ++ but I am not able to installed XAMPP due to security concern as I am using the company-provided laptop,
is there any way to do practice and run my PHP program without install XAMPP
First of all, PHP is a standalone program:
PS C:\> php -r 'echo PHP_VERSION;'
7.4.5
XAMPP is just a third-party package that bundles together several famous programs written by other people. You can always get any of those programs (PHP included) from each of the official web sites.
If you mean you want to use PHP to build web applications but you aren't allowed to install a web server, you may have a couple of options:
Use PHP builtin server
Find out if your Windows edition includes IIS
If you mean that you aren't allowed to run any kind of third-party software, you're out of luck: PHP itself is software and it's third-party.
In any case: if your company is asking your to learn PHP, they should provide you with the necessary tools. If you're doing it on your own, know you're probably violating company rules anyway.
You need to have a local installed webserver. With XAMPP on your device you just have a nice tool for learning. Running a productive Application with critical data on it, would be not smart.

I am working with a PHP web application that has a MS SQL back end. The development copy is hosted on a Windows server.
There will be a few developers joining me on the project, and I need some sort of source control so that (obviously) we don't over-write each other's work. But since a PHP/SQL project has to be run from the server, we can't each work with local copies and then push the updates to the server...we all have to be working on the server itself.
So I have three questions:
My initial thought was a simple check-in, check-out system, which should be ok for our small team of 3-4 programmers. So, what is (currently) a good program for that?
I also thought about each developer having his own folder in the wwwroot folder, his own full copy of the program, then pushing updates to a master copy, also on the same server. Is there a good program for doing that (file merging and conflict management)?
Which method do you think would be better?
Run servers all your local machines. There’s lots of ways of doing this. If you’re using Laravel, it has a server built in php artsian serve. PHP 7 also has its own server built in.
Use a version control system like Git. You can learn here
Do this as soon as you can!
Sadly however, this question is not a suitable Stack Overflow question, so will be likely be closed soon. Good luck!

I need to learn php, but i'm struggling with the install process to run the code in a web browser.
usually when I try to run a php code the screen stays white
I tried to follow the php configuration process from some sites but usually I end up getting lost.
So if anyone knows the steps to install and configure php in windows 7 please help.
A simple route to go down is to install WAMP or XAMPP. They are both pre set up with PHP, Apache and MySQL.
Incase you're not sure what each one is... PHP is a scripting language, MySQL is a database, and Apache is a web server capable of running PHP scripts and returning the output to a user.

I have a Windows XP Pro SP3 computer that I want to run mySQL on for testing with PHP.
Seems that mySQL 5..5.4 from dev.mysql.com is the last to support XP and I wanted to know if this is the best version I should use.
Also I need a management system like msSQL2008 comes with that will allow me to create, edit and export the databases and tables to my hosted platform.
I am running ColdFusion 9, msSQL2008 and PHP (XAMPP Apache).
Thanks in advance.
I can't add just a comment because i don't have enough reputation points, but if you're running XAMPP that comes with PHP myAdmin which will be what you want for the second part of your question. As for the first part, i don't know what version of MySQL will work best on XP, but are you sure you're not already running MySQL as part of XAMPP? Thats what the M stands for in XAMPP! Load up the XMAPP control panel and check.
You can use MySQL Workbench, which is a proper Desktop program for interfacing with MySQL. I don't know about whats supported on Windows XP anymore, though sometimes it's more to do with the fact that Microsoft have stopped supporting Windows XP and so no one else is going to support it. I would maybe think of upgrading your OS.
also this isn't really a SO question.

Free, portable, all included, all in one, (opensource is + ) php server? I have a USB FLASH 16gb card. I want to install on to it some kind of PHP server - some programm.exe which i could run on different computers without installing - call some localhost/phpserver and get my php scripts running.
So where to go to get such thing?
XAMPP and instructions:
http://www.pendriveapps.com/xampp-portable-web-server/
I'd try WAMP; hopefully it has what you are looking for.
I suggest XAMPP also but instead of pendriveapp fork, you can use the original "xampp lite" package served from their offical site. I's pretty portable and you can use without setup.
By the way, your problem will not be the choosing package. Problem is, you'll need an extremly fast flash drive or card.
