im a newbie...

ive downloaded XOOPS and extracted its content. probably installation is not really my problem but i was thinking... if this is a web hosting site, where could i place my php files and MySQL dbases?

my computer's not connected to the Internet, so definitely, installing it on my computer is not an option to be accessed over the net (as being suggested, even in FAQ).

does it mean that i cant have any php-mysql hosting then unless i use my own unit or am i getting the wrong idea?

i really want to learn PHP and host a personal site to see the difference from my local machine and to the one conencted to the Internet. thanks!
