How To Install PHP, MySql & Apache on Windows
PHP is just like a hot cake now a days because there are lot of job opportunities in the local and international market but there is a shortage of php experts. Lot of people are trying to learn PHP but they don’t know how to install and configure PHP on Windows.
I am writing this article on Public Demand -:) because lot of people are sending me emails to learn PHP after I pass the Zend Certification. So,lets come to the title of this article.
Its so simple to install and configure php on windows. I am using WampServer which is open source, easy to install and available in windows installer. WampServer is a Windows web development environment. It allows you to create web applications with Apache, PHP and the MySQL database. It also comes with PHPMyAdmin and SQLiteManager to easily manage your databases.
- Download WampServer
- Install WampServer by Double clicking the downloaded file
- Follow the instructions.
- Thats it, you are done with installing it.
- Run the WampServer, Left click on new icon in your taskbar and click start all services
- Test it by writing http://localhost in your browser, it should display a WampServer page
- Place your files in c:/wamp/www/

WAMP stands for Windows Apache Mysql Php
Windows absolutely Microsoft operating system package 98,XP or VISTA etc
Apache is a webserver and many peaples like it bcoz it,s opensourse and not platform independent
MYsql is a DBMS program same qualities opensourse multiplatform but now MYSQL 5 is not free and you d;nt need that also:)
PHP ofcourse the Powerful Hot Programming 
acctually PHP stands for Hyper text preprocessor but i call it that way bcoz it,s powerful and hotone also,
Note PHP is also opensourse till now and not platform independent
There are more packages in WAMP like phpmyadmin,sqllitmanager but the main 4 i mention are must to be installed on your PC for testing and debuging your dynamic website
