This is for all the who are new to the language php. This is a guide that will show you how to set it up with a server running on your computer for windows users.
1. Start off by downloading the program. Click here
2. Now to the install, follow my pictures, the install is very basic:
Click Yes
Click next
Accept the agreement
Choose where to install, I recommend not changing it
Choose whatever you like
Click install, this will take a while
At the time you install you will be forced to click on your browser (check pic) For me, I just press desktop then Mozilla Firefox.
3. Now you have installed WAMP. Let's configure it.
You should have a half yellow half white icon in the bottom right corner with a lock on. Right click on it and choose 'Start All Services'
Now if you write your ip in your browser you should be able to watch your site. If you haven't change it, it should be looking like this
If you get an error you need to forward ports on your router. If you don't have one and still get an error, try turn off your firewall.
Ports to forward is
80 - 80
443 - 443
4. Now it's time to edit your site. To do that go to the wamp install directory (if you followed the pictures : C:\wamp\).
Then click on the map named 'www'
In here is all the files who will be visible on your site.
Hope this will help you. If you don't understand anything please tell me in this thread. Also tell me if something didn't work.
EDIT: WAMP is short for Windows Apache MySQL Apache (it means you get all these things when you install)
