For PHP programing we need a web server, so we use WAMP. The last available version was launched on 27 December 2010 and it has the following components:
Apache 2.2.17
Php 5.3.5, Mysql 5.5.8
PhpMyadmin 3.2.0.1
SQLBuddy 1.3.2
XDebug 2.1.0-5.3
webGrind 1.0
XDC 1.5
For now we will use only Apache and PHP, followed by MySQL and phpmyadmin.
