"Hash data"?  Eh?

My only suggestion, which is unlikely to actually be helpful to you, is
to run a real operating system and just install Apache, PHP and MySQL
there.  It's pretty easy to dual-boot Linux, or run it within a virtual
machine, or whack it on an old spare box to act as a development server.

I do realise that's akin to answering "how do I fix $problem with my
Fiesta" with "why are you driving one of them, they suck, get a
Ferrari" though :)
