Paul,

Installing php and mysql couldn't be simpler.

1) Install IIS (I assume you already have it going)
2) Download the mySQL windows binary (installer)
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/download.php?file=Downloads%2FMySQL-4.0%
2Fmysql-4.0.14b-win.zip&pick=mirror
3) Install mySQL (unzip fhe zip 1st)
4) Download the PHP windows binaries (installer)
http://au.php.net/get/php-5.0.0b1-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror
5) Install PHP.

Presto.

PHP and mySQL.

Really not hard.

Ya should be learning ColdFusion in any case ;o) but what can you do ;o)
(hehhe.. sorrry to all those die hard PHP people out there, but I had to slip that in)

Hope that sorts itself out.

Mark
