Solution 1

WAMP stands for "Windows Apache MySQL Php". Essentially it setups up Apache, MySQL, and PHP on a Windows box. Apache becomes your web server on that machine (instead of IIS). You can even still run ASP.Net web sites hosted on that machine if you load the correct add-on module.

IMHO, using IIS with PHP enabled is a LOT simpler and less hassle than creating a WAMP server.

Google will provide you with a LOT more info than we could give you here.

Solution 2

WAMP is not a server in the sense used in software; this is a software package, or bundle, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAMP[^].

There is nothing to explain about how it works; the question does not have much sense.

Solution 3

Yes , WAMP is not server itself, it is a software package which has Apache,Mysql,PHP bundled in it.
You can run your php application with out using WAMP package, for that you need to install PHP[^],Apache [^]and Mysql [^]separately and integrate it, which can be tedious work sometimes.

This is what WAMP does it gives you everything ready to run your application on windows.

hope it helps :)
