WinHPP Server

Generally speaking, writing tests to test your PHP code can usually spare novice developers a lot of debugging time and many headaches. Then again, the trick to getting a productive workflow, in this case, entails dedicating the time to write the testing code before the actual PHP script, so if you bump into any errors later on, you can just run it and try to look for hints about the problem.

The good news is that you can avert the tedious and time-consuming repetitive tasks involved with this project by using an automatic testing framework. WinHPP Server is an application designed to facilitate the PHP scripts tests and can be seamlessly employed for verifying the code used in websites that rely on PortgreSQL.

You can run the utility using PowerShell, in case you find the approach more convenient. Before you can run the tool, first you need to make sure the user profile you are currently using has administrator rights. Afterwards, you need to check the log file winhpp_100.txt to determine whether the installation was successful.

It is important to note that if you want to run WinHPP via PowerShell, then you need to perform an update first. More precisely, you need to download an archive from the developer's website and overwrite the winhpp.exe file in the dedicated folder. If all steps have been done correctly, then you should be able to initialize the PostgreSQL database and install the afferent services.
