PHP and MySQL on a P3

Yes, as long as the script/database you are using aren't too intensive, but PHP and MySQL itself will work fine. :thumb:

XAMPP is an easy way to install this : http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html (if you are using Windows).

Could I just ask that when you make threads you pick a descriptive title (rather than, "Can I....")? I've changed your last few, as it will help people spot thread they can answer :)
 
I have a linux web server running at home on a old P3 computer - it runs Ubuntu/Apache/PHP/MySQL with no problems.

Are you looking at running a Windows or Linux environment - and are you looking to use it for programming PHP, or for serving PHP pages?
 
I run a full linux web / mail server at home on a p3-733 and it goes fine. If you're new to linux (especially the server side of it) go to http://www.contribs.org and grab a free copy of their SME Server. It's an all in one server solution thats very easy to install and administer and comes with everything you'll need to get going.

If windows is your choice of OS then as Ian says - XAMPP is a good place to start.
