php, mysql and apache combination is one of the best thing for web development. This  combination is usually known as LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySql and php). Most of the web/php developers use Microsoft Windows to develop RIA (Rich Internet Applications)

In this article, I will guide you step by step to install this great combination on widows machine using wampserver.

  1. Download the latest release of wampserver from their website
  2. Install the package on your desired location and follow the instructions. Believe me its pretty much simple and straight forward
  3. Run the wampserver and an icon will appear in the widows taskbar indicating that the server is running
  4. Open your favorite web browser and enter http://locahost in the address bar
  5. Put your php files in c:\wamp\www

Hmm great, now that you have installed php, mysql and apache on your windows machine. Its time to play with the wampserver manager and phpMyAdmin. You can do lot of advance things by clicking on the wamp icon appearing in the task bar.

Happy Phping :)
