Ok. ive had a setup running mysql before using an install program to learn
php n mysql. I am now trying to setup the server for myself without
phpmyadmin ect.

Im using apache 2, mysql 5 and php. I understand that the binaries for mysql
were not included in php5 so ive downloaded then and have the dlls in the
php/ext folder with the correct info in the php.ini file.

My apache2 folder is available to the windows PATH as so is the mysql/bin
and mysql/ folder.

MySql client wont let me log in. and when i try to do it with PHP i get the
following error:

Attempting Connection:
Host: localhost User: root + password
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Host 'localhost' is not
allowed to connect to this MySQL server in C:\ApacheServer\WebRoot\index.php
on line 25

I have seen some articles that say mysql commands no longer work with some
versions and you need to use mysqli.
this is the result i found when using mysqli:

Attempting Connection:
Host: localhost User: root
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in
C:\ApacheServer\WebRoot\index.php on line 32

Someone please help me?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Ill post my folder structure just incase it help:

c:/Apache Server/
| - Apache2
| - MySql
| - PHP
| - WebRoot
