Hey Matthew, Did you try this link http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php. This will tell you everything you should know about the IIS setup. And look through the readers contributions at the end this is where the specific help is for your problem. 1) When you open up IIS and go to home directory(all explained in the above link) you will choose cgi.exe as the .php extension. Isapi is the php filter. 2) CLI is the PHP Command Line Interface. If you want the Graphical Interface use CGI. 3) I used to use phpmyadmin but I removed it in favor of MySQL Administrator, in my estimation much simpler, quicker to learn and by far easier all the way around. These last opinions are totally my own. I know many, many people stand by their phpmyadmin. I do know this... for a beginner it may be quite frustrating to set up phpmyadmin the first time. It is also not easy to remove either. It is very, very important to read what is in the above link. Their are several places where, it is critical you have the correct information referencing the right folder, file, etc. Like in the Windows path environment, the PHPRC, your PHP.ini, your DOC path, your EXT path, etc. All these areas are very important and when you have a problem you should check these things to make sure they have not changed. And then there are permissions, you must have IUSR_machinename listed with execute permissions, the folders with PHP and MySQL and PHPMYADMIN must have permissions opened up for IUSR, etc. Find all these things and make them right. You will be sailing along. This really is very simple if you read the above link and do a little Googling. You want something frustrating really compelling and frustrating? Try setting up a brand new Linux OS for the first time and get your wireless card working. This is where on the mailing lists you see many people using extreme emotion like "Suicide is an option", "Nuclear Meltdown", "This has been the worst day in my life." I've seen this and more with just trying to set up a wireless NIC to access the WEB. You are in a one dimensional problem. Just look at the documentation and it will all come to you. I hope I have shed a little light, Chetanji Matthew Gonzales wrote: > > Hello, > > I am having trouble getting PHP to work with IIS.
