    I've completed the CSS/HTML portion of a site that will use Wordpress as a CMS. Is there a way to test my code (the PHP and all) without having it referencing a database? (I.E. I'm gonna' be on a plane for 7 hours and think that's a grand ol' time to finally get the site competed).

    So where will all the info come from, right? Exactly.

    Better yet, you could install Apache, PHP, MySQL, and Wordpress on your local machine and run it from there to test it out.

    I agree with the above poster. I have xampp installed on my powerbook. http://http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html - its a quick and easy installation of PHP 4/5, Apache 2, and MySQL 5. Within minutes you can be up and running on your localhost and free to move about the country (hehe).

    Let me know if you need any help or have questions - nate |at| theklaibers |dot| com.

    Personally I use WAMP5 for all my local coding needs. There are a few different altertanives out there (as others have already posted). Despite whatever package you ultimately decide to go with, coding locally on your hardrive is a great way to get work done.
