[PHP] New install platform
It has become evident that I need some form of local testing environment so that I can figure out what is wrong with one of my $sql statements. Can anyone tell me what the easiest platform is to set up a PHP/MySQL system? I have a PC and a Mac on OS X, and with the use of VirtualPC I have the ability to load most flavors of Linux as well. I hate to have to go through this to test a single error, but if anyone can help with this, I would truly appreciate it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] New install platform
IME, any modern Linux distro will let you setup a viable Apache/PHP/MySQL configuration with a few clicks/commands in its package manager of choice. I am partial to Debian and Ubuntu, as that's where most of my experience is. And it's very easy to setup a barebones system that you just put LAMP on, which is good if you're hosting it as a virtual machine image. I would actually recommend against Red Hat, as their version numbers are all kinds of screwed up. (They will take an old version, patch it with all the changes to be the modern version, but leave the version number as the old one. So what they call PHP 4.3.9 is really PHP 4.3.11 or maybe 4.4.something, I don't know, I don't know if THEY know.)

For a simple OS X install you can either modify the existing Apache/PHP install and add MySQL or use entropy's package from http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/ On 6/25/06, Grae Wolfe - PHP [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It has become evident that I need some form of local testing environment so that I can figure out what is wrong with one of my $sql statements.

Grae : Seems like a lot of trouble -- if the list will permit, what's the offending sql statement? You might also try the mysql list, namely: http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/mysql hth's tedd -- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
