How to test PHP?
 

I downloaded the WAMP server from this location <http://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/files/WampServer%202/WampServer%202.0/WampServer2.0i.exe/download>, ran the exe and installed it; seems to have installed fine, no errors absolutely whatsoever. Remember am a newbie, so please tell me how can I test if it is working fine. I did try http://121.0.0.1/index.html - No results.

Kindly Guide.

Hi All

I get this error 'Cannot load mysqli extension. Please check your PHP configuratio' while trying to launch phpMyadmin. I checked the php.ini; the line extension=php_mysql.dll and extension=php_mysqli.dll look fine and are uncommented. Any idea how I can fix this error?

In the WAMP tray (bottom right) click, and find PHP extensions. In there find MYSQLi extension and make sure it is ticked (meaning it is enabled).

Thanks. It was ticked; I tried all the other workarounds, tried a reboot; finally tried a reinstall. It works now!! So am ready to go. Thank You.

you can even use XAMPP from Apache Friends

thanks
