Question

Answer 1

First of all, consider not installing DataLife Engine at all; it contains several well-known cross-site scripting vulnerabilities:

Second, before you can install a PHP application, you need to install an HTTP server (usually Apache or IIS), configure PHP support in that server, and, if necessary, install the database server required by the application...

Answer 2

Datalife is a PHP script, so logically there's php installer. I think install.php is simply an installation script. So, you need to have something like Apache server and PHP/MySQL installed at your computer.



Actually, without PHP/MySQL/Server you won't be able to work with Datalife engine

Answer 3

Install phptriad software, and the php.exe file to your OS classpath. Then from command prompt run >php install.php

This will run php file

Answer 4

php files only run on a server that is cinfigured for php, not sure of your level of expertise but you could install apache, it's free
