I admit up front to being a noob on WAMP, and being spoiled a bit by the fact that most everything today is a simple "install and run" proposition.
So, on to my issue:
I have a working website with a javascript form that executes a simple PHP script to send an e-mail. It works just fine when on my hosted server; but I want to be able to develop more sophisticated scripting, which means I need to be able to test locally. So I downloaded and installed WAMP (Windows 64-bit to pair with my Windows 7 64-bit operating system).
Everything appears to be working. I can access localhost and myPHPadmin. Port 80 is in use by Apache and PHP. The WAMP icon is a cheery green and can be put online and offline.
The trouble is that when I submit the form and it hits the PHP page, the page is downloading rather than executing. I am working in the default www directory and have tried both IE and Chrome.
After spending several hours over the past two days Googling for answers, and finding nothing helpful, my frustration level with it is very high. So, I welcome any suggestions that you may have.
