Issue
I have been trying to learn php development by installing xampp on
my pc. The problem i am having is that i am able to save my php
scripts and run them successfully but when i started trying to
write programs that have to connect to the mysql database it
started giving me all kinds of errors.
So my guess is that i am not being able to connect to the mysql db
even though phpmyadmin seems to be connecting to it. I tried
reading all these php forum tips on pinging mysql, etc but i dont
seem to be making any clear headway.
Can anyone please HELP me by giving me some good tips on pinging
and troubleshooting my problem. Please find below a list of my
environment info ;
OS: Win XP
Computer type: laptop
Distribution: XAMPP
PHP VERSION: PHP5
MYSQL: v5
System firewall: Default windows firewall
Internet Security: AOL Active Shield
thanks,
