What is WAMP?
WAMP is one of the programs that should be used especially by those interested in web design, or rather those who want to prepare advanced websites.
WAMP is a software that combines standardized systems for web servers such as PHP, MariaDB, MySQL, Perl, Apache and enables us to install them automatically on our personal computer.
What is WAMP Used For?
As I wrote in the description above, with WAMP we install many systems on our computer, and of course, these systems we install are useful for many of our needs. For example, with Apache we can run codes like .htaccess, with PHP we can run the PHP programming language you know, and with the php+html combination we can design nice sites and enable data exchange, and at the same time, with the .htaccess structure, we can give nice link styles to our site.
Thus, we can test the sites we build at home without paying for a real server.
WAMP is generally used to set up servers for testing purposes, but if you say, I will prepare a browser game on my home computer and play it with my friends, you can also publish browser games using WAMP.
In fact, WAMP basically turns your home computer into a web server, and how you use this server is entirely up to you.
- To test websites
- If your internet speed is sufficient, to publish the site you have prepared directly from your computer
- To use for web games
- To use as a database server for online game servers
- WordPress installation
- Forum installation
WAMP Advantages
By the way, my favorite feature in WAMP is that we can change the PHP version very easily from the toolbox, this convenience is not offered so easily by other web component servers, in fact, some do not offer this at all, you need to use whatever you have downloaded. Not having such a limitation in WAMP is a great advantage.
You can easily switch between PHP 5 - 7 and their own sub-versions. Such as 5.2 - 5.4 - 5.6 7.1 - 7.2 - 7.3.
