CHMOD'ing is mainly a *nix problem and should't affect windows!
cool cool - any ideas why my php aint working right is kinda strange as seems to work fine but i have a php file which write info entered into a form to a text file - tested it on my remote host and works fine but on local machine it opens txt file but doesn't write info from form fields to it - just the commas between entries - anyone got any idea why this would be??

i have setup php and mysq on my laptop running apache, all thru windows.
the best tool i have found on the net is this:
PHPDEV http://www.firepages.com.au/devindex.htm
It is a fully working set of programs that you unpack, then run the setup file.
It will install Apache, MySQL, PHP, MySQLAdmin, a BB, and some other stuff i cant remember at the moment, but it is setup.
Dahquim
for testing forums at home i use XAMPP
a complete set,too.
http://apachefriends.org
try it.
