To avoid the continuous uploading to test every change on the server I'd like to test on my pc. Question, how can I achieve that?

Thanks,

Mike

One popular option is XAMPP, which will easily install Apache, PHP and MySQL on your local computer in one package.

apache friends - xampp

Things to consider: Depending on what you want to do with your code, you'll want to make sure your local installation matches your web server in PHP version and configuration, or may be a little surprised (by errors) when you finally upload your masterpiece.

  WAMP Server is the best I've tried.
  
  Though on Linux it's called something different which I can't remember right now.
