PHP:How to Open and Test a PHP Script in WampServer

WampServer is a web development environment for Windows. It's easy to use, and once you know how, you'll be able to open and test a PHP script in it with no trouble.

Steps

   • Download the WAMP version that suits your OS (e.g. if your OS is 64 bit, download that version.)
