I just downloaded Wamp5 a while ago, but my only problem is I don't know what to do with it in order to make my testing server or whatever to work. I just want to preview my php page...

Any suggestions?

Should be an htdocs folder somewhere, put your files in there and go to http://localhost:8888/file.php. MAMP has to be open and the servers have to be on for it to work.

Erm, 8888 is probably just something in your config...

You put the files in htdocs and go to it via
http://localhost/file.php

Nope, there is no htdocs, and how do I make the servers to work because I tell wamp to start them and they won't.

The servers start by default
and the default root folder is C:\wamp\www
so you have to place the PHP files in that folder.
But if you change the default folder when installing, then you know where it is ;)

As said it is the defualt WWW Folder... Find that, you know the drill... C Drive and find it, Then when you finish a PHP Page, set up a folder inside their, such as test then save the file into there. To start the server just click on the icon. Then in your icon tray it will say local host, it will open in FF or IE Ect... Find your newly saved file and thats it...
