Before you can get PHP to be executed by your local Apache server in
response to a browser request, you have to configure the Apache
server. It sounds like you haven't done that part yet. You might
also have to modify the windows "hosts" file. And be careful not to
make your WAMP/Apache server a security hole that invites the entire
internet world into your PC. alt.apache.configuration is the group to
ask apache configuration questions in, if you decide that's what you
need.
