Well, after much pain and agony, I've come to the conclusion that my
problem is not getting PHP to work - instead, it seems that the PHP
script is not able to open a connection to a MySQL database.

I put some tracing "echos" in my page and, when I open the page, it
executes down to the statement:
$conn=@mysql_connect( "localhost", "root", "mypassword" ) or die (
"Err:Conn" );

MySQLAdministrator seems to show that everything is ok with MySQL.
That is, it's running, the needed database is there, there's in it,
etc.

In the PHP.INI file, I have extension=php_mysql.dll active
(uncommented). The extension_dir is set to the correct folder.

I notice in the PHPInfo listng that MySQL does NOT show up (like PHP
doesn't know anything about MySQL?)

Any suggestions as to what I might want to look for here?

Thanks
