I have started learning about PHP from w3school.com website..
I have installed wamp2.0i server on my computer.I used store all php files in c:/wamp/www/ directory.
While running I do right click on file and open with firefox.But I am not getting output on browser.I can only see the entire code as same as written in notepad file.
Suggest me the way.

you have to run your files through the server, opening the files like that bypasses the PHP interpretor (since the browser can’t process PHP)

i.e. http://localhost/path/to/file.php

I've never tried WAMP, but I know in XAMPP, it has a control panel where you can turn on/off different parts. You will need to make sure PHP is checked on.

First of all dont save your php files directly in wamp/www folder. Make a separate folder for each of your project. Suppose its proj1. Save your php file in wamp/www/proj1.

Now run WAMP - it shows up in your system tray. Open your browser and type http://localhost/. The wamp page will open. Scroll below and you will see your proj1 folder. Click on it and run your php file.
