Being able to develop on my local machine with urls like
htto://testsite/index.php has been a godsend. Mostly because I am able
to take full advantage of the document root. If I were to develop on
something like http://localhost/testsite/index.php I would be extremely
limited and forced to used relative urls. In this article I've listed
the steps in order to enable this functionality in a wamp server
environment.
