Any help on setting up this monster would be helpful!!! It doesn't matter if you install MySQL or PHP first since you would most likely be installing both precompiled, not from source. Enabling MySQL support in PHP on Windows consists of properly defining your extensions directory in your php.ini, placing your php_mysql.dll in that defined extensions directory, and finally you would uncomment the MySQL extension line. extension_dir = "c:\php\ext" extension=php_mysql.dll I would use the regular PHP installer, then add the files from the non-installer download to the initial install in c:\php. That will get you a ton of extra extensions you may or may not want. -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
