FuelPHP is really designed to be run on the LAMP stack. Fair dos. But I’ve got a Windows laptop and to be honest I can’t really be arsed with Linux much of the time, so Windows it is. Here’s how to get up and running with FuelPHP 1.4 in no time.
Before Starting…
- Make sure you’ve downloaded and installed XAMPP (Apache, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin in a nice bundle) for Windows. You’ll need it to do pretty much all the things. I’ve got it installed at C:/xampp, change this throughout if you’re XAMPP installation is elsewhere.
- Get yourself a good text editor – I recommend Notepad++.
