Greetings.

Here is my problem:

I'm quite new to apache(only set up a localhost page) and webhosting in general, so I'm looking for the easiest solution to host some php pages...

I'd like to set up a web page internally between two computer at a company, I'd have the apache server on one of the comps and the other comp should be able to send information with a php page to the other computer and vice versa.

The page will send a number and the recieving page will create some textfiles, then you should be able to read the textfiles(If that's of any difference).

Thanks.
 
This doesn't seem to be an apache question. Once you get php and apache installed, you will have to write or look for some software to use.

I don't know of any places to look for this type of framework. I would suggest googling or the php forum here (if you have more php-specific questions.)
 
Sorry I wasn't clear enough, I have the code and It's working on localhost, but how can I make it work in a network?
 
Jussi7,

From your post, it sounds like you 're having difficulty with the client/server model.

Your Apache server host answers HTTP requests from a client host. If your Apache server is set up to listen to HTTP requests on an IP address and port number (commonly, a socket), then any other host on the same network segment should be able to request data from the server.

The Apache documentation covers this in adequate detail.
