i somewhat "get" what both of you mean but there's still a whole lot im totally clueless about.

sarmenhb: i downloaded the program. but what is it used for? is it for code checking? cause i have a folder on my desktop that i called "website" and its there that i keep all of my files for my website and then i upload them using CoreFTP. if i use the wamp program, isnt it gonna scatter all my website files into different parts of my computer?
and well, i dont know what "root directory" and "local host". im really really new to all of this.
PS i added you on msn.

i just figured the link i posted earlier on at the top of the page didnt work. just fixed it. :)

hi the program is has many uses its main purpose is to allow your computer to understand what php is because by default the only language it understands right now is html. if you put a php file on your pc it wont know what to do with it. what wamp server does is make your pc into a web server, just like when you go to yahoo.com or google.com etc.. those websites are running off of a computer just like yours but the only thing different about them from yours is that they have software being ran that allows people to access the webpage and view them. on wamp there is an option that can make your webpage accessible by anyone in the world just with one click.

btw, if you use msn my msn screen name is sarmenhb@hotmail.com and aim aka aol screen name is sarmenhb
