Get IT - WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL PHP)
February 23, 2008 · Filed Under webtech
One of the prerequistes for doing any web development is of course to have a webserver! For development purposes it is best to have this on your own machine, that way you can play and make mistakes without impacting anything ‘real’.
The most commmon webserver is Apache according to Netcraft survey on Web Servers , its also Open Source which is nice. What is also very convienient is that you can download easy to install versions of Apache, PHP and MySQL for Windows (WAMP!) .
The good folks over at WampServer have one such package. Essentially you download, execute the install package, follow the simple instuctions and there you have it, a fully functional webserver and database with PHP supported with minimal effort.
