Using WampServer
In this article I will tell you how to setup, and use Wampserver.
WampServer is a 'Windows web development environment'. With this program you can create web applications with PHP, MySQL, and Apache. This program includes PHPMyAdmin and SQLiteManager, from which you can easily manage your databases.
I've been using this program for a while now, and it is really, really helpful, so I am writing this to let you all know about it.
I have mainly used it to test all my pages offline, locally on my computer. I copied my whole site, with the databases, set it up, and then I could edit the site, and add features without it ever going 'live'. After that, I just upload the finished site.
To download the program follow this page, to the download link. The program installs with the installer, and is completely virus free.
A friend of mine also told me about two tools, that when combined with this program, make it extremely easy to execute SQL queries, without knowing SQL at all, this program is called MySQL Query Browser. This program is for download at Dev.MySQL.com. The Direct Download Link - Dev.MySQL.com.
Now that you have the program downloaded, and installed, right click on the quick launch WampServer icon and click www directory. In this directory, create another folder to store all your files in. Then you go click on localhost, in the same menu, which would take you to your folder.
I may write an article over MySQL Query Browser, but this program is really only for the people who are using databases, or PHP for their site.
Hopefully this article helped you! If not, feel free to ask on the forum.
