For those who wish to learn Php, here’s a step by step guide on important aspects like installing and testing Wampserver. Here’s a guide by India’s leading Php learning center- Thoughtful Minds.

First task is to download WAMPSERVER from the internet. After you have downloaded it you need to install it in your pc. This process will give you a server on your PC where you will be able to test your scripts.

After successfully installing the WAMPSERVER follow the following steps to test your server:

1.  Near the clock icon on taskbar you will see icon (of WAMPSERVER) click on the icon to see the menu.

From here you can stop, edit, view help files and see the configuration too.
