XAMPP Look

Hello everybody, welcome to my blog again. This time, i will tell you how to install XAMPP and run it, so you can run a localhost web server on your browser.

If you want a little explanation about XAMPP, you can read it here, on my other post.

1. First of all, you need to download the XAMPP from it's website [click here] and of course you need to have a browser. Chrome, Firefox, Torch, they are recommended.
2. After download, go into the place where you download, well in my computer, it's located in C:\Users\[your pc-name]\Downloads, and look for xampp-(blablabla).exe (blablabla here is the type of xampp that you download), in my computer, the file name is xampp-win32-1.7.4-VC6-installer.exe. After that run the installer.

PHP My Admin Page

9. Then you can check again the database of our localhost by typing localhost/phpmyadmin, then it will display phpmyadmin page like the picture below 
   you can see the red section, these are the name of database. Maybe on your computer, there aren't any of these database, because you haven't created it, but later in another post we will discuss about it okay? :)
   Then in the blue section, it is the form, that we can use to create new database.
   
   

That's all the steps to install xampp. Later we will discuss how create php code and create database, and many other, so stay tune on this blog :)
