Thanks in advance to all.
help me please im so tired of it.

It sounds as if you are trying to install each one individually. There are a number of packages that install everything for you. Xampp, Wamp, Uniform Server, EasyPHP. Probably easier to start over using one of these.

on Windows WAMP server is the best option ... or even if use an IDE for PHP like NuSpherePHP or something...they come bundled with PHPand MYsql too and run their own servers..
best idea is installing wamp though !

WampServer is too old now. No update since a very long time. Almost two years.
Try EasyPHP (www.easyphp.org). It's up to date with the last version of PHP (5.3.4) an Xdebug.
And they have a very easy system of modules with Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla...

Correct on WAMPServer. They are a announcing a new version for this weekend though.

Thanks to all of you guys.. .

now im using WAMPserver.. .

Thanks to all and god bless.
