HOW
TO INSTALL PHP APPLICATIONS
By using WAMP SERVER, it is a web development
platform on windows by which we can create dynamic web application with
Apache2, PHP, and MySQL. WAMP server automatically installs
everything that you need during web application development so it can be used
for creating a local host especially for running test projects. Follow the
steps below to get started:

called WAMP server.

bit windows or 64 bit windows) from here.
