ID: 65669 Updated by: requi...@php.net Reported by: pennyzenny at gmail dot com Summary: setup fail -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: MySQL related Operating System: windows 7 PHP Version: 5.4.20RC1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Try going with WampServer - a bundle of Apache, MySQL, and PHP that should be easier to install and manage. Be sure to remove whatever you've installed first so you don't have two different copies of Apache and PHP. http://www.wampserver.com/en/ As for the PHPMailer error, it's looking for an "MTA" (mail transfer agent, which coordinates sending emails) on your computer but desktop versions of Windows do not have those by default. You can find and install one, or better yet set up PHPMailer to send from your GMail account instead. http://stackoverflow.com/a/9776379 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-09-13 17:46:06] pennyzenny at gmail dot com Description: ------------ I have installed apache 2.2, php 5.3.27 and MySQL notifier 1.1.4 and what ever version of MySQL comes with that as it didn't say anywhere what version it is, I guess another bug. php 5.3.27 seems to be the only version for windows binaries. I have used several versions of apache, php and MySQL over the years. I have spent hours trying to get the current 3 to work. apache2.2 works fine. php works fine. every time I add PHPinidir to the httpd.conf file php stops working, why do all the setup guides tell me to do this???? I have followed endless guides to configure MySQL to work in php but none of them work. I always get... Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in C:\PROJECT\www\index.php on line 26 same if I try mysql_connect() but I believe that is no longer used. EVERYTIME I SEARCH TO FIND A GUIDE TO SETUP PHP TO USE MYSQL ALL I FIND ARE LINKS TO PAGES AND PAGES OF WAFFLE ABOUT A LOAD OF SHIT AND NO DETAILS HOW TO CONFIURE PHP... SORT IT OUT!!! I downloaded phpmailer5.1 and this is what I get... Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/London' for '1.0/DST' instead in C:\PROJECT\www\class.phpmailer.php on line 1925 Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.
