Making PHP and MySQL Talk?

[Dav0s]

Been trying to set up PHP and Mysql on my comp...only prob is that it runs windows as i dont have access to linux atm.

making these work on windows is just not working.

any script with mysql commands doesnt work at all, i cant get phpmyadmin to work, the admin utility that comes with mysql wont let me create databases.

i have added the "load mysql module" into php.ini
i have added various other lines into php.ini after folowing many guides on the internet.

quite frankly im confused and stressed out tryin to get this to work. php works fine....just it doesnt want anything to do with mysql.

anybody got experience in setting this up on windows and wanna lend a few pointers?

much appreciated,

Dave

Get WAMP.

It's apache, mysql and PHP in a single package - works in harmony out of 'the box'.

if your on windows try phlanger, still beta
http://www.php-compiler.net/

its soo much faster than php, or zend.

If your on POSIX system, this runs well under mono apparently.
