Answer 2

PHP and other CGI languages will only work if running from a web server. You can run a few php lines here and there locally, but if you want to actually see what browsers will see, then you need to have a server running. Otherwise you'll never know if mod_php or node.js or whatever is working right.



Besides that, LAMP is good to know (and WAMP is close enough) because you might think you're only interested in web design now, but the more you know, the more you realize you really should know. And knowing the whole stack is much better than just know some HTML, CSS, and a scripting language.

Answer 3

Hello



Try to test a php, and MySQL website with your web browser. Try to test a php coded web page with your web browser.



Just to make things more interesting, try to do these tests without using wamp.
