Is this for use as a development environment or to use the computer as a server?

This would be for web development. I would be uploading the php files to a web hosting server.

Then you're easier just installing WAMP. It comes with PHP, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin and Apache built in.

When I install this and I try running my code from the command line it pauses for a second and then prints out the directory again.

Here is the code for now



I type

php index.php

how come it doesn't work?

Thanks

You don't run it from the command line. WAMP acts as a local 'server'.

1. Go to where you installed wamp. Most likely "c:\wamp"
   
2. Now go into the "www" directory.
   
3. Make a new folder like "tests" or something.
   
4. Put you php file inside it.
   
5. Turn on the server by clicking the wamp icon in your notifications bar and selecting "Put Online" ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )
   
6. Now go to [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and click on your project folder ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )
   

If you have any problems, message me on AIM @ JordanCallumA or PM me.

Whenever I try launching wamp I get errors like CLI has stopped working. Apache HTTP Server stopped working and was closed. I also cannot left click the taskbar icon. double left clicking doesn't do anything either. Do I need to uninstall xampp for this to work. What else could be causing these errors. Do I need to re download and reinstall?

If you already have xampp then why aren't you just using that?
