PHP, MySQL and Apache

Hi all,

I intend to create a database to be accessed from a voice application. I
plan to use MySQL as a database engine and PHP as a scripting language to
generate dynamic VoiceXML documents. However, I have two questions I could
not get answers to:
1. Do I need to install Apache to work with MySQL and PHP? In other words,
can MySQL and PHP work together without Apache. Note: The database and the
application are on the same machine for the timebeing.
2. What database API should be used? I recently read about MyODBC. But many
standard books skip this part as if PHP and MySQL have something natural to
talk to eachother without requiring anything like ODBC, etc.

Your answers to these questions are highly appreciated!

Best regards,

Kinfe T.

RE: PHP, MySQL and Apache

Answer 1. No, you do not need Apache. You could be using IIS along with PHP
and MySQL if that is what you need! But talking about natural relationships,
there is nothing better that the great combitation formed by XAMP.

Answer 2. There is a MySQL API specially done for PHP, so there is no need
to use another different API. Search for functions like mysql_pconnect(),
mysql_select_db(), mysql_query() and related functions on the php web site.

Chicolinux!!

Re: PHP, MySQL and Apache

Hi kinfe,

To connect to myql from php you only need build your php with mysql
support.

Now, for render vxml documents you are using apache o IIS ?=20

I recommend LAMP (Linux+Apache+Myql+Php)
