Comparison of WAMPs – Part2

February 7th, 2008

Last week I installed WampServer (Version 2.0) on my work PC. Since then, I’ve played around with Apache/PHP and, to a lesser extent, MySQL. My initial thoughts are that this WAMP seems to include a lot of good support for changing the three modules’ core functionality which I had not seen in other WAMPs before.

For example, I wanted to install the GD library in PHP – previously to do this, I would’ve had to edit 2 or 3 INI files and restart Apache to achieve this. All I have to do now is click on the Wampserver’s little icon and select GD library in the PHP menu. Simple! For this (and also the ease with which it installed), Wampserver gets a big thumbs up from me!
