Starting PHP OOP - Do I need my own website?

I noticed that Hampton was using a text editor and a separate domain instead of the work spaces. Do I have to set up something similar or is there anything else I can do to replicate it?

PHP is a server-side language. You therefore need a server to run it.

Thankfully you don't need to pay for hosting. You can set up a local server on your own computer.

Use MAMP for Mac

Use WAMP for Windows

Thanks so much! I'll get right to it and install WAMP for now! :) What's the Linux version called if you know?
