If you've misconfigured them, maybe. Every sane firewall, including
every out-of-the-box one of the major vendors excepts localhost
connections from blocking, because many applications do that to
communicate internally, since Windows doesn't have OS sockets. *USUALLY*
a suggestion that a firewall is causing a problem on a local machines is
an indication that the speaker doesn't really have a clue and isn't
interested in the problem.

WAMP's a perfectly reasonable thing to use. You'll need to make sure
that you've got the services started properly. Which means going back to
the WAMP setup and making sure you've dotted all the tees and crossed all
the eyes. Get that Apache working THEN worry about making PHP hook up to
it. It may be as simple as "you haven't turned it on yet".
