Hii Friends, I had installed xampp Server in Window 7 but php is missing from it can't find the reason of Error Having lots of work Please Help me for it
Create a PHP file and put this in it: <?php phpinfo(); ?> Code (markup): If it outputs something, then you are not missing PHP (as I doubt you are). I use XAMPP myself and I like it a lot. I have not used WAMP. Looking at the screenshots, it does not look like an easier interface nor simpler functionality. https://github.com/josephspurrier/surfstack-wamp/wiki/SurfStack-WAMP-Screenshots The WAMP support forum is pretty weak compared to the XAMPP support forum.
That's not WAMP - that's Surfstack WAMP - this is what I'm talking about http://www.wampserver.com/en/ (the interface is pretty similar, I was mostly talking about "getting it up and running" - WAMP is usually easier to get running properly than XAMPP)
Thanks for correction. I guess I should have dug deeper for WAMP screenshots. XAMPP is easy to get up and running, too, once you allow it to run with administrator rights. Setting up the virtual hosts is easy, but that is more Apache than XAMPP. The only thing about XAMPP is that it takes a long time to install. If my memory is correct, it was close to 30 minutes.
Ouch. That's kinda insane. Reason why I recommend WAMP is that for the last two-three years, when I've tried installing XAMPP, I've ALWAYS run into trouble - due to previously installed software, hosts-config, something has always made it act up. WAMP has not given me any trouble (apart from the latest version where they went with virtual hosts instead of just localhost/whatever - which is good, but the way of creating the virtual hosts are manual, which can sometimes be a bit of a drag). The install-time for WAMP, and getting everything up and running is around 10min max (including manual editing of virtual hosts), so on that front it seems to win, but as I said, the reason I don't use XAMPP is that I've had so many problems actually getting it to behave as it should.
