Step 2Set up the server - the easy way
Unless you have a web host with PHP enabled, follow this awesome Instructable to set up an Apache server in just a few minutes.
How to install a web development environment on localhost
I tried several free web hosting sites that were supposed to be PHP enabled. I never did find one that fit my needs and most were just exercises in frustration. This Instructables showed me how to install Apache, MySQL, and PHP in just a few minutes. This turned out to be far easier than I had expected.
Place your PHP script in the appropriate folder. You will need to forward the appropriate ports if you use a router. If you have a dynamic IP address check out DynDNS to easily keep your server reachable.
