php, mySQL, dreamweaver, WAMP5 - Help!!


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I want to create a php website for my final year project. I am currently trying to set up the required programs etc. I want to develop my site in dreamweaver and include php. I have downloaded a program called WAMP5 which appears to have downloaded everything I need and I have installed Dreamweaver 8 myself.

As this site is never going to go live I am not sure how to:

a. configure what I have installed, do I need to use the Apache server?

b. how to open a basic .php page. (I have created a basic .php file in Notepad and placed it in my directory folder but I don't know where to go from here...)

Any help would be great, I have read so many books and stuff but none of them really support WAMP5, not sure if I should attempt to install all the programs manually but as you can tell this would take me FOREVER!

Thanks

Pam

If you've installed WAMP then you don't need to configure anything. As WAMP has done that for you.

Your PHP files should be placed in the www folder (C:\wamp\www)

You then open your web  browser IE, FF or whatever. Then go to http://localhost/myfile.php to run your PHP scripts.
