Could someone please guide me through installing MySQL for Windows for use PHP? I've installed it using the Windows installer, set PHP to load the DLL, and Apache to use PHP, but all I get is an error message stating MySQL is not installed or configured correctly.

there is a easy way: use EasyPHP or devPHP ;) :rolleyes:

I hate to sound like an ass, but have you read the docs?

Links would be nice - couldn't find them. I'm gonna kick myself if the answer's in there.

And I wanna set this up myself, 101. I tried Apache2Triad and I hated it.

good luck :)

MySQL is a server that runs off of your computer that applications connect to by calling 'localhost' on the mysql port. If the server is running and PHP has the mysql functions installed and your code is correct. You should be good.

Are you using PHP 5 or PHP 4 because installing it in PHP 5 is entirely different than installing it with PHP 4. Make sure you check to see whether the tutorial is for 4 or 5.

Thanks for the info K - I'll look through it now. I'm using PHP 5. And Tempest, I've set it up and phpMyAdmin reports that it doesn't exist. It's running as a service.
