* Download the newest version of PHPTriad.
o This is a very easy to use all-in-one pack.
* Run the .exe, and let the installer do the job for you.
* Now go to C:\apache\mysql\bin\, and run winmysqladmin.
o If, and it probably will, it asks you for a password, enter root as password, and password as password.
* Goto your start menu > PHPtriad > Apache Console > Stop Apache
* Now go to start menu > PHPtriad > Apache Console > Start Apache
o Note: Do NOT select "Restart Apache".
* Now, Apache will pop up in a new window.
* Simply minimize it.
o Do NOT close it!
* Now, open up c:\apache\htdocs\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php.
o Find: $cfgServers[1]['password'] = '';
o Between the '' tags, enter "password" WITHOUT the quotes
o Save & Close
* Now, your "webpage" is available at http://localhost

Place file in C:\apache\htdocs
Assuming the file is test.php go to http://localhost/test.php to access it
