Let's set up the local development environment. We need PHP, a Web Server, MySQL & Code Editor. There are many ways one could install these, you could do it manually, you can use "all in one solution" like XAMPP / MAMP / WAMP or you could use a better alternative like virtual machines or Docker. In this video, I will be showing you how to get PHP up and running using XAMPP but in the second section, we will use Docker. In addition to setting up the local environment, you will learn what a webserver is & how it works.
