yes it will work on xampp i run all my test on it including phpld.

and it should work out of the box. so if it doesn't try to reinstall xampp.

ps use the full version not the lite version

hello nostradamus1
Thank you for replying.
I have the full version of Xampp with apache,mysql,filezilla & mercury.

The script I download from phpdictionary.com has no install folder in side it. just a text file called install.

After downloading the file , I extract it with winzip and paste it to xampp/htdocs/ ..... and tried to open the installation process as per the instruction given in the download page. Is there any thing else do I have to do to install it? or do I have to unzip the file with other program? I've already tried with winrar too.

you read the install text file?

hi James
yes I read most of the instruction on the text file. But it is all about the server and php configuration. Since I use the current xampp that I have on my pc to run many php scripts with out a problem I suspect there must be special thing I got to do to install this one.

Should Install folder be in the downloaded file? If yes then I don't have it.Which one is the installation file?
