PHP - Which Softwares Are Required To Create A Php Page?

Hello there,   I am learning PHP & MySQL and developing websites.I have a doubt whether could I develop a software using PHP & MySQL without uploading to a website.I want to execute the projects in my PC.Whether i can develop a .exe software.Please help me.

I'm having a issue at the moment where my required page is being read when it shouldnt be. This if statement is true to where the first header in the if statement activates header("Location: forgotpassword.php");

but yet for some reason it reads the required safe page at the very bottom. if i disable the required safe.php the header works.

Does required files not work with the flow of a page or something? Cause thats what appears to be going on here.

Hi all, I'm trying to scrape the contents of a page that is behind a login screen; namely: http://my.mail.ru/apps. Here's my code. It almost works, but doesn't appear to be properly logging in -- I just get a login screen on the url download. Any ideas? Thanks much.

Here's my code



<?php
 
$ch=login();
$html=downloadUrl('http://my.mail.ru/apps', $ch);
echo $html;
  
function downloadUrl($Url, $ch){
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://my.mail.ru/cgi-bin/login?noclear=1&page=http%3a%2f%2fmy.mail.ru%2fapps%2f");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
return $output;
}
 
 
 
function login(){
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://my.mail.ru/cgi-bin/login?noclear=1&page=http%3a%2f%2fmy.mail.ru%2fapps%2f'); //login URL
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$postData='
                page=http%3A%2F%2Fmy.mail.ru%2Fapps%2F
                &Login=username
                &Domain=mail.ru
    &Password=password';
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
                curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);
                curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);  
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $store = curl_exec ($ch);
    return $ch;
}

i don't know what this would fall under, but it sounds like php..........is there a way to make a form make a new page from a template........like I have a picture page and I can upload pictures from a form with a picture name....and that name turns into a /name.php file?  does this make sense?
