2. DVWA download and installation
1. PHPStudy software installation
[1] Visit this website to download the PHPStudy software (just download the latest version) 
[2] Run the .exe file in the downloaded compressed package 
[3] Set the installation path (set the installation path yourself, It is best not to put it on the C drive). Just follow the following steps to install it.
After installation, the following interface is displayed:
Click to start the Apache service and MySQL service for testing.
Enter 127.0.0.1 or localhost in the browser to access. If the following interface appears, phpstudy is successfully installed and the Apache service is started successfully.

Go to the current directory
and copy the file config.inc.php.dist into a copy, change the copy to config.inc.php, double-click it from Notepad Open inside.
After opening, you will see the following interface: (Change db_user db_password in the file to root and root respectively) This is the account and password of the database. Save after modification.
Enter 127.0.0.1/dvwa on the webpage to visit. After the dvwa interface is displayed, click Setup/Reset DB, then scroll to the bottom and click Create/Reset Database. You will see Setup successful. It is normal for me to display it
here because I It has been installed before. When
you install it for the first time, you may encounter
(1) reCAPTCHA key: Missing
(2) PHP function allow_url_include: Disabled
. Solve the following problems in order;
(1) Re-open the config.inc.php file under dvwa and find it in the file. These two strings of codes
$_DVWA[ 'recaptcha_public_key' ] = ' '
$_DVWA[ 'recaptcha_private_key' ] = ' '
Enter these two strings of keys

(2) This problem exists in phpstudy, find the following directory
and access this file (note that it is not the php.ini file in DVWA, be sure to operate it correctly)
Change these two strings of codes to on
allow_url_fopen=On
allow_url_include=On
Save and exit!
Finally, re-start the Apache and mysql services in phpstudy, and access the settings in 127.0.0.1/dvwa again. You can find that everything is normal, and you may jump to the login page, which means the installation is successful. Enter your account and password:
