Hi, as a bit of a newbie with PHP and Win2k, I've succesfully installed and used php on my Win2k computer for testing web pages etc locally on my computer and not having to upload things to the server of my ISP. Everything runs fine ... so it seems. Today then, I just installed a mysql distribution under Win2K on my machine as well, which apparently also successfully installed because I can call up and start the mysql-nt server and have it running. Now ... here comes my question ... Could someone help me with setting things up so I can use this MySQL to create a database and tables to use for a forum from one of my "virtual websites" (that is one of the websites I am testing and which has been assigned a "vitual host") ? Where do I assign a host name to the mysql server and user and password to simulate the "real" situation of later on? For example: The website is at www.domain01.de (my domain), and the MySQL runs on mail.domain02.com (my ISP's mail server, where he has the mysql server installed) and I want then to use the PHP/MySQL combination from the website to run a forum. If someone could point me in the right direction and perhaps coach my along a little bit, I would greatly appreciate it ... perhaps better done off list.
