I recently downloaded and installed wampserver. I seem to have done everything correctly and I now would like to start using it to run some basic HTML files which use PHP files. I have a simple HTML file and PHP file which I have been using. They are stored in a directory I have created in the C:/...www/ folder. Here is the code...
test.html:
<html>
<body><form action="welcome.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" />
Age: <input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" />
</form></body>
</html>
welcome.php:
<html>
<body>Welcome <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>.<br />
You are <?php echo $_POST["age"]; ?> years old.</body>
</html>
I got these off of w3schools so I assume they work. The HTML looks fine for the test.html page, but when I press the submit button it brings up a File Download box and asks me if I want to save or open the file "welcome.php". When I click save it obviously saves it and when I click open it just opens the file in wordpad.
Does anyone know where my problem is? Have I missed something critical with wampserver? Any help is appreciated.

You are clicking in the HTML file directly and then post it to the php file, that is wrong!
first you must create a directory in c:/wamp/www/ (for example “test”) , then copy your files into there. After done, open your browser and type [localhost] then post it to your php file.
(also you can create alias directory)

As recycle_bin pointed out, you have to run your files through localhost, check this instruction guide for more detail
