    I assume your having problems installing & configuring them individually. If thats the case stop, uninstall them and use WAMP. One installation with this will install PHP5, Apache and MySQL. Its been a while since i installed mine but i dont think it requires much if any config. I could test my server side code straight from the word go iirc.

    When its installed load it up. You should see semi-circle in your system tray. If its white then Apache and MySql are working. If you see that part of the s-circle is yellow then theres a problem with either Apache or MySql and they problably haven't loaded correctly. To test if apache is working just type or you could click: http://localhost/ . This should display the WAMP5 homepage. As you probably know, just replace this file with your own index page. Its located under WWW in the root directory of WAMP. Good luck

    AS Dorza just said this is what I was referring to on IRC last night. THe latest version of WAMP uses mysqli instead of mysql so you either need to use the mysqli functions (mysqli_connect, etc) or make some changes to php.in and config.inc.php in phpmyadmin to make sure you can connect to the database correctly. If you had experience of PHP and mysql I would say remain with mysqli but since most info on the web will refer to mysql functions then it might be easier to start with them until you get to a reasonable level of proficiency. You would also need to ask your host what they are using.

    I am my host at the moment.

    I trust you've seen my post in GD?

    I went with mysql 4.3 instead of 5, but decided to go the 'install it myself' route. So I reinstalled the lot!

    Thanks again.

    Its pretty clear your new to all this. Stick to stable and tried and testing configurations

    Erm, he never mentioned using MySQL 6 (there's no such thing). He was referring to PHP in his 4.3 instead of 5 statement, he just typed the wrong thing

    No, hence why its called WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL PHP) and not LAMP
