Ok, I'm having problems with configuring all the things together. I have loaded on Php 4.3.1, Mysql, IIS 5.1 and Dreamweaver MX, but I can't get php to work from dreamweaver, well i can't say it works at all having used a piece of code to check php works in html. I have installed php but I get an error message saying I have to manually configure the server connection as I don't have an OCX control. Can you help as I think this is the only block between me and using php with mysql in dreamweaver
