Last time, i wrote something about Configuring PHP and Apache.But in reality me too did not liked it to do this tedious task.Fortunately one of my friend who was working with PHP for some years told me about WAMP.This guy helped me to get a latest version of WAMP and we installed it ,started working on it. really cool !

WAMP stands for Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP.I would like to describe WAMP as an Ideal execution environment for developing PHP-MySQl Applications with Apache websercer in Windows platform.

In wamp ,we need not bother about editing the configuration files ,which may be a boring task for some of us,Instead we can do all these(up to an extend) on the installation wizard .Still wamp allow the user to have access to all the config files in one click.You need not go for a search with file name ini.php / httpd.config

You can download WAMP server from here

Once you install wamp,start the wamp server from the start menu.you can see a systray icon in the right bottom side of screen adjacent to the time

Left click on WampServer’s SysTray icon will help us to do the followings:

• Control Apache and MySQL services
• Switch online/offline staus
• install and switch Apache, MySQL and PHP releases
• Access to MySQL DB front ends like PhpMyAdmin/Sqlite Manager
• View logs
• View/Edit configuration settings files..

Now Let us start…………………

When we install our WAMP server in our PC, the installation program automatically create a folder named www inside wamp folder.You can Put your projects in this folder.Take a browser and inthe addressbar type,

http://localhost

Your browser will render a page like the above.There you can find a Heading called “Your Project”.There it will display all the projects we have put under www directory

This is a snapshot from my PC.30JUNe,Liveprojects,MyBB,MyForum,MyWordpress ,NewFolder are Projects created by me.You can click any one of this iems to navigate to that project.

Above the You projects Title,You can see the Caption “Tools”,under that you can see a list having items “phpinfo”,”phpmyAdmin”,”sqllitemanager”,clicking on the phpinfo leads you to a web page which display all details regarding this installation packages.ie; for example,you can findout which all libraries are supporting our current php version and all.The remaining two,phpmyadmin,sqlitemager are two tools written in php to handle your mysql db.

Thats all Guys…. Try this and revert me if you have any queries .I shall come up with some more stuff soon
