Some are outdated. Some of them refer me to files that don't exist when I download the application. I seem to be able to download them ok, but everything I have looked at gives me tweakings that I need to do. This is where I run into problems, because half the time I don't know what they are talking about.
I am new to PHP, but have worked with SQL on other data bases, but never installed the database. I am working in Dreamweaver, and have built a website. I want to add a database to it and PHP. Can anyone give me a book, site or whatever that will put out step by step with np hidden assumptions where I can install these on my computer? Jack > > > Jack - I've done it by hand multiple times, installing each product individually, following instructions from multiple books and sources, etc. Having done it that way... I heartily recommend you do a google search for XAMPP. This is a free site that offers a free download which includes Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl in a complete and pre-configured bundle. To install, you simply unzip. One thing I especially like XAMPP is it makes and requires NO changes to the Windows registry. So, by putting XAMPP and my favorite editor on a USB flash drive, I now have a full PHP/Perl/MySQL development environment with me at any PC with a USB port. Mike ------------------------ Yahoo!
