Thanks for all the help guys... but I think I am going to blow away what I have so far and install wamp5. I want to be able to get on with your book Janet :) Thanks for the help though. I'm sure I will have plenty more questions.

This means one of two things: (1) you did not activate the mysqli functions in php.ini by commenting the mysqli line. After editing php.ini, you need to restart your web server. Also, be sure you are editing the correct php.ini, as shown in the output of phpinfo(). (2) PHP cannot the find one or both of the files: php_mysqli.dll andlibmysqli.dll. The files must be located where PHP can find them. The simplest way is to locate them in a folder that is in your system path. If you added c:\php to your system path, copy them there. Or you can copy them to your windows\system32 folder.
