The website we visit comes from a server. Servers such as Apache or nginx are installed on the server. We can install Apache or nginx on our computer and use our computer as a server.
After installing the server, we can see any web page there and store it there. Websites are created using HTML and CSS. Only sites created using HTML and CSS are called static web pages. We'll put this in an HTML file, so let's take a look at it. But our websites are very rich, we have to show a lot of data. The data must be received from the user. This requires a dynamic web page. This is what the user likes when information is shown on websites. This requires our programming language. Many programming languages are popular for creating dynamic websites. Java, Python, PHP, ASP, etc. PHP is the most commonly used among them.

| Using Of WAMP Server. How to use it? Installation Process |
When working with a lot of data, we have to store our data on the server. The databases required for this. There are many database management systems. MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite and others. Among them, MySQL is popular.
The tools required for a web server are an HTTP server, a programming language, and a database management system. They can be installed separately. The problem is that a separate complex is installed. Those who have just started development may be intimidated by such complexity. For this, we want everything to be installed together. We are lucky that WAMP is a package of everything for Windows. It stands for Windows Apache MySQL PHP. . LAMP is for Linux users. MAMP for Mac Users
WAMP is easy to install and use. Go to http://www.wampserver.com and download it. Then install it. A folder named wamp will be created on the drive that is mounted on the drive. A folder named www in this folder will be available. There we can run our php files.
We create a PHP file inside the www folder. Write a PHP script like hello.php.
In order to run PHP files, you first need to start the wamp server. You can go to the start menu and run it. Then go to the browser and http://localhost will show information about our wamp server. If not, then the wamp server shouldn't have started. Check it out and run it. If everything is working correctly, typing http://localhost/hello.php will display the output of our first PHP script. Instead of localhost http://127.0.0.1/ we can also see our server.
Each website is associated with its server by its name. Which can be accessed via IP or address. For example, instead of google.com, we will also see the Google website after viewing http://74.125.224.72/. Similarly, the default name for the server we have installed on our computer is localhost and each computer's local IP address is http://127.0.0.1/.
With the above wamp which was installed by MySQL, we can use it with any kind of programming. For example, Java programming, Python or Android application development, and databases.
There is a great wamp software called PHPMyAdmin. Go to Localhost (http://localhost) and find the PHPMyAdmin links below Tools. By going there, we can create the database, view the data in the data table in the database, and do all the editing graphically. If you install MySQL in the normal way, then these tasks are performed on the command line. Working with PHPMyAdmin is very easy. Detailed information about creating a database.
