[thelist] PHP Apache & MySql the next step

[Andrew Maynes]

ok this sounds good Rob

I am 9x (win98) so I have checked out the console, the bit that was thrwing me
was the username password and port?  so this is setup within the php config? or
apache?

Run <path to mysql>\bin\mysqld.exe

Then your PHP should be able to connect to it automatically.  The win32 php
distribution comes compiled with mysql support by default.  You could also
run winmysqladmin.exe which IIRC runs the appropriate exe for you when you
start it.  If you're on 9x you'll have a nice console window to play with
similar to the one apache has, under 2k/xp it can run as a service and so
you'll not get that window.

You'll need to create a user for php to use and a database as well unless of
course you're happy having php access your database as root ;]
