Alex, > Sorry, I cant find this "Action line". =can't find it where? It's on the page number that I quoted for W&T's book (unless there's a new edition out?). If it's not in the conf file then it must be added - review p799 and around - they have a section about setting up Apache in one place, and then later when talking about setting up PHP they come back to making additions to Apache's conf file - some possibility for confusion there if you think 'been there, done that'...

On the PHP site there is a page of links. Pick one, eg PHPBuilder, and then scout around for what you want. Alternatively, there's been plenty of discussion here on the lists (probably more on PHP-General and PHP-Win, cf this one PHP-DB = really for database-related topics) so a charge through the archives will unearth treasures. > again.
