I initially had them both installed in the 'default' folders:
C:\Program files...
But then when I realised that the exts for MySQL etc. hadn't been
installed - partially because of that extremely long list of add-ins to
choose from when doing the installation - and after one or two other guys on
the blind programming listssaid I should rather have installed to paths like
c:\php and c:\zMySQL in order to help out the order of hierarchy for some of
the DLLs or something, I in fact reinstalled around amonth ago, and while I
hadn't actually tested any MySQL code at that stage it was all working fine
in terms of other code like manipulating form input, reading an extra text
file etc., and now when I actually started playing with MySQL code, it
suddenly 'started' generating me these errors, except I suppose that since I
was actually sort of not having them announced to me/supressing them, it was
possible they were there, but not really specifically affecting the code ai
was actually using.
Like i said in the previous mail, I now can't even execute the phpinfo()
function now since I immediately get those error popups, and no output.
Lastly, the reason I use IIS etc. is because I still do work using ASP,
ASP.Net, and MSSQL server, and am now sort of starting to train myself into
using PHP and MySQL since these are obviously used 'more often' across the
world.
Thanks for your response/efforts
Stay well

I haven't had that experience and have used PHP with both IIS and Apache
on WinXP Pro. Have you tried re-installing though? Is there a reason
you're using IIS rather than Apache?

machine
I'd actually thought this list was relatively inactive up until the
various
replies to all the other messages today, so I thought I'd send a
'reminder'
relating to my specific problem (see below).
If you guys are all using PHP on a Windows machine, it's a bit strange
that
I'm the only one who's run into this problem, so hopefully one or two of
you
can tell me what to look at/into.
Thanks in advance

Ok. Had both components installed/configured on my machine, but seem to
be
experiencing a 'new' problem.
Been starting up with this stuff again now, and after wondering why no
MySQL
related code would produce a result, I went into my php.ini file and
made
sure it would in fact generate/display all errors, and 'suddenly' I'm
getting not only popups whenever any PHP page starts to load moaning
about
'invalid memory access' linked to actually loading the relevant DLL
files
for the database access, and the obvious errors related to not being
able to
execute any code related to mysql_ objects/functions rendered in the
actual
output, but I can't even
execute normal code like just using something like echo "hello world";
It was working after the last 'move' to a different folder (c:\php and
c:\zMysql), but even after looking over various forums, searching for
relevant info using google, and making sure that IUSR_MachnieName had
full
access to the various folders where the .DLL files where located, it
still
won't work.
FWIW, I have Windows XP Pro, IIS, PHP 5.2.3, and MySQL 5.0.41 installed,
and
followed all guidelines I could find/get for configuration etc., and the
paths mentioned in those popup dialogues mentioning these problems do in
fact refer to the correct file paths, and file names, and FWIW, it's not
just the MySQL DLL it can't load, since that dialogue pops up around 5
times
mentioning all 5 of the add-ins I chose during the actual install of PHP
etc.
I also have both the c:\php and c:\php\ext folders in the path
environment
variable, at the front of that string.
While I would like to get this stuff on track, I'm wondering if its
worth it
at all...
(maybe I should just 'dump' my Windows workstation, and install that
Ubuntu
CD I have - LOL!)
Anyway, any suggestions?
