1) Which is the best ng?

alt.comp.lang.php
alt.php
alt.php.sql
comp.lang.php

or can you suggest a good web forum?

2) My PHP installation is not properly installed. I have it
running under Win XP SP2 using IIS. When the computer first
boots I get an error:

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'./php_mysql.dll' - The specified file could not
be found.

Can I just find that file 'php_mysql.dll' and copy it to c:\php?
Does it need to be regestered as well?

3) Running http://localhost/phpinfo.php indicates that I am
running PHP 5.0.4

Should I upgrade to a more recent version and will that upgrade
sort out the missing php_mysql.dll file?

Is it sensible to continue using PHP with windows - given that
any sites I eventually write will be hosted under
linux/apache/mySQL? In other words should I be developing under
Linux instead of Windows?
