There are lots of tools through which we can install PHP such as WAMP, XAMPP, etc. Here I prefer WAMP tools to install PHP.
WAMP stands for Window Apache MySQL PHP. You can download the WAMP server from http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php.
The WAMP Server is a Windows web development environment. This allows you to create web applications with Apache, PHP and MySQL database.
This also comes with PHPMyAdmin to easily manage your databases.
The WAMP Server installs automatically via installer and its usage is very intuitive.
You will be able to modify your server without even touching the setting files.
WAMP Server is the only packaged solution that will allow you to reproduce your own production server.
Once WAMP Server is installed, you have the possibility to add as many Apache, MySQL and PHP release as you want.
To install WAMP Server, first, download the setup of the WAMP server and follows the following step.
Step 1: Double click on the WAMP Server setup.
Click button ‘Next’.
Step 2: Select ‘I accept the agreement’ and then click the ‘Next button’.
Step 3: ‘c: \wamp’ showing the default directory where WAMP is installing, here you can browse any other directory to install it.
Click button ‘Next’.
Step 4: Select ‘Additional icons’ such as ‘create a Quick Launch icon’ and ‘Create a Desktop icon’.
Click button ‘Next’.
Step 5: This is the confirmation window before installing the setup.
Click button ‘Install’.
Step 6: Now setup installation begins.
Click on the button ‘Finish’ to exit setup.
Step 7: After successful installation clicks on the notification area of the windows desktop.
Now we have to verify that the installed Wamp server works properly or not.
To do that open in address http://localhost:85/ (where 85 is port no)
So this is the whole process of installing the WAMP server in the windows operating system.
