Wampserver - Page Is Displaying Differently Depending On How I Visit It?

To get used to using server software (and to make it easier to test PHP scripts), I thought I'd host a website myself. I successfully installed Wampserver, and I can visit the page

Solution 1:

If you use file:///C: you won't be running in the server environment. This means any server side code won't work (such as PHP code). You want to use 127.0.0.1/site or localhost/site.

When you use file:///C: all of your html and javascript will be displayed properly, because that's done client side. Anything that is supposed to run server side, such as php won't execute.
