Yeah, read the previous posts...I did that. None answer my question.
I just installed PHP 5.0.4, Apache 2.0.54, and MySQL 4.1.13 a few days ago
on WinXP SP2. My goal is to learn to use these programs.
I cannot, absolutely cannot connect to MySQL using PHP. I've tried
everything possible including the mysqli functions.
I have no idea what is wrong. I don't get any error messages at all. It's
almost as if PHP stops processing the php file in mid stream.
PHP is installed properly (I followed the installation instructions to the
letter). Simple php files process OK. MySQL is installed fine--I've
loaded data from an Access table and have been querying it fine using the
MySQL Query Browser. But I cannot connect to MySQL using PHP!
Is there anyone out there that can help me?
I am thinking that someone could create a simple DB with one table in it
with a little bit of text in one of the fields (as a test), then write some
PHP code that they KNOW works. Then I'll set up a DB the same and run that
PHP code and see if it works on my system.
Shouldn't take someone more than two or three minutes to do this. If they
are willing to help...
I've been working on this for about 3 hours now to no avail. I'm about
ready to give up on this open source stuff. But I really do want to learn
this. I just need help getting over this one little hurdle.
Thanks.
