New User, need help setting up WAMP SERVER

[rondelw]

Hello...I'm a new user and trying to use this software instead of Dreamweaver...I'm trying to utilize wampserver because I like the mysql/phpmyadmin feature. With the webuilder software, I'm using the internal php engine, but how do I use the mysql? I figured out how to show the sql explorer, and how to add a database, but how do I create tables and connect to it in the script? Can someone please tell me how to do this or how to use WAMP SERVER with this software? I went to Options > Preferences > Preview > Mappings > checked the box and then set up variables to: C:\wamp\www\ & http://localhost/

What am I doing wrong? please help so I can continue on with my projects.

never use this and dont think it's a good idea(never could make it work), use the native workflow; connect from within webuilder using the proper php statements.

are you talking about mysql? That's what I'm trying to test locally...the mysql part...can you or anyone else tell me how to check mysql locally?

yes im talking about mysql: dont use that mysql comand prompt that comes with webuilder, use native methods:thru php or thru the mysql admin panel, i think your wamp installation is flaw, to know if wamp is ok just do a query like :http://localhost/xampp/ , this is a query for xamp (i use xamp,dont know how wamp is configured)
