Well, I'm trying to get PHP, but I'm not really sure what I have to do. Here's what I've done.

Downloaded WAMP5
Downloaded PHP
Setup PHP - PHP says that I have to do Apache manually
WWW folder is the root folder

So what now??:?

Correct me if i'm wrong... but wouldn't WAMP5 already have PHP bundled, since it installs Apache, PHP5, and MySQL?

You're right Cameron--I use WAMP5.

MC: The default WAMP install will have everything Cameron mentioned in it. Just throw some files in c:\wamp\www\ and access via http://localhost/filename

If that works, you're good to go :)

What do I put for my localhost? Say I have a file php.php, what would be the URL of it?

-Well, in C:/wamp/www
there is a file called index.php (which is the file they put there), and it doesn't work, the php comes out as normal text. =/
