Answer 1

Click on the wamp server icon in the taskbar and test "localhost". If that works, click the "phpinfo()" link on the page. If that works too, your wamp server is working and you should be able to execute php files. If not, you need to make sure it is installed properly and started properly.

Answer 2

I'm presuming that by WAMP, you are using Apache as your server? You need to find your www folder in C:\WAMP\www and place files in there.

Answer 3

How are you trying to view the pages? Why exactly are you "not able" to do it? Are you aware that PHP files are basically programs that run on a server, and you view their output using a web browser? Assuming that you have actual PHP files (rather than their output) and all the resources that they need, you will have to put them into the source folder that WAMP is configured to display, and then you will be able to view them by going to http://localhost in your web browser.
