So the title asks it all. I'm trying to find a program that i can use to test out my website before i release it. I would like to be able to use php also. I had one where it was an all in install but i cant member what it was called and on win7 64 bit i'm having issues installing php with IIS. Any help is appreciated
 
What web server software does your hosting company use? If they use Apache, then install Apache on your desktop. That is how I develop several sites.
