HOW TO INSTALL AND CONFIGURE WAMP SERVER
You can download wamp server from http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php

4. A MINI TUTORIAL ON HOW TO USE WAMP
Wamp will automatically start when launched, and it will stay at the notification area (or system tray) you know that
area where the time and battery power is usually displayed eh?
The Icon usually looks like this
Clicking with your left button (not right-click) will show you the the wamp menu.
Now, wamp is made of 3 main software:
1. Apache Web Server
2. MySQL Database Server
3. PHP Processor
So this means that you can write PHP on your pc and execute it without requiring internet.
Wamp Server is usually installed into your C drive.
WRITING PHP CODES WITH WAMP SERVER
Open your computer, and navigate to c:wampwww then create a PHP code by opening notepad and typing
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
And saving it as first.php into c:wampwww so that you now have c:wampwwwfirst.php
At this point again, I will also recommend using Notepad++ to write your codes whether php or whatever.
You can get notepad++ from http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
It does not disturb you from installing dreamweaver or any other gui you may like.
To view the output of c:wampwwwfirst.php you will then navigate to the following path in your browser.
http://localhost/first.php or http://127.0.0.1/first.php

5. You cannot double-click to open first.php directly you may do that with html documents which do not require a server
or any processor to be viewed other than the browser.
If you create a folder into your www folder e.g. dhtmlextreme and you have c:wampwwwdhtmlextremefirst.php
You can view it in the browser as http://localhost/dhtmlextreme/first.php
You can then try viewing the source code depending on your browser. Google chrome/firefox - ctrl+U
Internet explorer, ALT+T then press u or go to tools menu, click on View Source.
USING MYSQL WITH WAMP SERVER
To use wamp server to run mysql, click on the wamp icon, point to MySQL, point to MySQL console and click on it.
It will bring out a window that looks like this:

6. Do not type any password (mysql does not use a password by default on wamp server except you set it). Press enter.
You are now ready to start,
You can type a command like show database; and press enter to show a list of databases.
You can type exit and press enter to close the window.
