Not to put you off Euphoria, but setting up Apache / PHP / MySQL in
Windows is not hard. (Look for "PHP Triad" -- installs them altogether
ready to go.) I've got it on my home machine and use it once it a while
to serve things up to private parties I might be working with. One
thing I should mention is that the second you put on webserver on your
home machine (I'm assuming you've got broadband) people will start
trying to hack into it and exploit known vulnerabilities. This is for
people doing port scans of the broadband IP's looking for such servers
(I look in my Apache log when it is running, and there is such an
attempt every 10 minutes or so). So set up all the proper security and
firewalls right away. If you're only going to allow a few select people
in, then set up it up so it blocks everyone at the top level without a
password.

I can't think of an easy way to embed Euphoria in an HTML page like with
PHP. Euphoria would be more like Perl -- the whole thing is a script.
You'd just have to use puts() to output the HTML. It would be easy to
write a function like the PHP include() that reads in a file and echos
it to the browser...
