{** SPAM **} Re: [PHP-WIN] How to access MySQL through PHP in windows 2K.

FWIW, while I'm using windows xp pro, I just use the WAMP package to run
php, mysql and apache on my machine:
http://www.wampserver.com/en/

All I've done extra is make it run using port 81 so I can also still run IIS
for asp.net stuff.

Stay well

Re: How to access MySQL through PHP in windows 2K.

web.walters-way.com

complete details on how to get a LAMP-like stack running on just about
nay windows platform.

Yes, there are windows INSTALLERs that will do the "work" for you, but
they don't help when something goes wrong.

If you want to learn this stuff, learn it from the ground up.

A great pilot knows his airplane, knows how and *why* it works the way
it does.

A great developer should know how and why Apache & PHP & mySQL work
together and and to correct issues as they arise. It's more than just
installing an "app".

Good luck.

"Installation on Windows Systems: (...) Once PHP has been installed,
some configuration is required to enable /mysqli/ and specify the client
library you want it to use.

As mentioned earlier, the /mysqli/ extension is not enabled by default,
so the php_mysqli.dll DLL must be enabled inside of php.ini. In order to
do this you need to find the php.ini file (typically located in c:\php),
and make sure you remove the comment (semi-colon) from the start of the
line /extension=php_mysqli.dll/, in the section marked [PHP_MYSQLI]." --
