I've always just used XAMPP by ApacheFriends and I was curious what else is available. XAMPP, WampServer, Zend, etc. What about AMPPS, do any of you use it?
So, what is your preferred WAMP?

I have had intermittent problems with WAMP Server as well, and went with XAMPP and never had any problems with it.

You can also just use php built in web server. Note: you will need php 5.4 or greater.
Code: Select all
$ cd ~/public_html
$ php -S localhost:8000

Yeah, that is fairly new, and designed to make PHP a little more node-like when it comes to the development server. However, you will still likely need a database and possibly a mail server to test, so you are right back to either installing those separately or using a WAMP-like package.

I prefer WAMP server, otherwise I do my own custom installation.
