Hello,

I am trying to add a PHP search to my site and the read me file says to:

2. In the server, create a database in MySQL to hold Sphider data.

a) at command prompt type (to log into MySQL):
mysql -u <your username> -p
Enter your password when prompted.

b) in MySQL, type:
CREATE DATABASE sphider_db;

trouble is I am on a mac, so there is no command prompt. What are mac
users supposed to do???

You can access the command prompt (in OS X, this is called the
'Terminal') via:

Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal

If you are using Tiger, you can use spotlight to quickly jump to
Terminal (apple+spacebar is the hotkey to bring up the spotlight search
box).

Alternately, you can also install any number of MySQL front-ends
available for OS X.

Burhan
