Apache, Xitami can do this if you download PHP separately from php.net and (in the case of Apachi) configure them.

A web server is just that: A server. They come with no "support" as such, you add it as an extra.

As stated Apache and Xitami will run on Windows. The Apache setup is pretty straight forward.
You will need to install PHP yourself and I would recommend installing ActiveState Perl as well.

My preference for running web servers is on Linux. Much more secure and there is a lot more support and how-to's for various configurations (LAMP for example) on a Linux platform.

My 2 cents :whistling:
