ZZEE PHP GUI vs WAMP
ZPG and WAMP aim at different niches. While WAMP is mainly for the web, to create
a website on your computer, allowing other people to connect to it, ZPG is for the
desktop, and is about security, being easy to use and to run local PHP scripts.
The table below outlines the difference between these approaches.
ZPG and WAMP can work on the same computer, and because ZPG doesn't use any TCP ports,
there will be no conflicts.

ZZEE PHP GUI |
WAMP |
| Launching scripts |
You can launch a script by double-clicking on it |
You have to type a URL for the script into the webbrowser or create a bookmark for it |
| Where scripts need to be located |
Scripts can be in any directory or drive of your computer |
Scripts have to reside in webserver's Document Root or aliases |
| Webserver security |
ZPG's webserver doesn't use TCP/IP and nobody can connect to it |
Running a webserver on your computer is a major threat and you need to take all measures to secure it |
| Webbrowser possibilities and security |
All options Internet Explorer can provide are turned on, including Javascript, scripting ActiveX, etc. By default the browser is blocked from surfing the net, so it is not exposed to possibly malicious websites. |
If you need access to ActiveX or other high-risk options, you have to create a trusted zone in your browser for your WAMP webserver address and lift permissions for this zone |
| Turning off browser interface |
You can turn off the interface of the built-in browser, and your PHP script will look like a generic Windows application |
You are still confined to the webbrowser interface, taking up space and giving the user the Back and Refresh buttons, that are not welcome in some applications |
| Memory consumption |
ZPG webserver is inside the same process as ZPG browser and will go out of memory immediately after you close the window |
The webserver will stay in memory permanently |
