I've had a lot of the questions dealing specifically with a WAMP or LAMP server environment. & really, it makes sense from a student aspect, as it's not going to be on a server, & it probably won't still be installed 6 months, or a year, from now. So I'm wondering what is the overall consensus for installing a PHP environment, both professionally & for education.

I have both PHP 4 & 5 installed on 3 FreeBSD servers. Each one was built from the ports system, which is the FreeBSD package manager. This made upgrading from 4 to 5 such a pain in the ass, that I eventually threw in the towl & just uninstalled & reinstalled. The difference between 4 to 5, from the FreeBSD ports-perspective, was that in the PHP 4 installed, you installed only the core engine, adding on libraries, mods, & other what-have-yous later. With PHP 5 all of this is done in the make file. So each time that I wish to add something new, like GD for example, I had to reconfigure my make file, & reinstall.

So lets hear your PHP preferences, as well as a little background as to how you are using PHP.

I've never actually installed PHP. I plan to install it on a Xubuntu computer I have lying around, but I haven't had time to do anything to that one since I installed the OS. I believe I would go with LAMP.

You asked for our preferences and background with PHP. I haven't worked with installing it, so I don't really have any preferences. I use PHP mainly to edit existing scripts, such as the MyBB PHP files for this forum.

WAMP is windows apache Mysql and php and LAMP is linux and so on. So It clearly states if you using windows use WAMP

Are you even reading these posts, or just the titles?

Yeh that doesn't help at all.

Currently i am new to here and i know about WAMP but want more about it. If any one have more knowledge about it, share it here.

What would you like to know?

How WAMP server works?

Maybe this will shed some light on you.
Read it and let us know if you have any further questions.

Tell me that is it really do same work in Apache, PHP and the MySQL database?

Exactly. It's just a bundle that you install with a couple of clicks and you have everything up and running. It's also easier to customize the settings and to create specific development environments.

Heiharp, Give me more about how easier to customize the settings? Its really easy? I eager to know so please tell it in short time.

The "easy" concept depends on your experience and expertise. Why don't you download it & install it yourself?
Nothing better than trying by yourself to see if it suits you.

I am not more expert in this thing and thats why I am telling you so please help me in my prob.

It might help to know what your problem is. Although we are good with computers, programming, etc, we aren't mind readers.

Hey now I have no need to help because my friend solved all my problems last night.
