I've got PHP running on IIS in XP Pro on a local machine at Port 8080
and the MySQL server on the same machine at Port 3306. My SQL server
has a Server host name of localhost and a user name of root. I don't
use a password. Does anyone know whether it will, or should, be
possible for me to make a call from PHP to my MySQL Server to access
tables, make querys etc. Any hints on where to find good code for these
sorts of operations would be welcome. For example, $ dbhost = local
host (presumeably), and $ dbuser = root. Presumeably I don't use $
dbpassword. Then I use the mysql connect command to call up a $ dbname
(an existing, named MySQL db) etc. I just wondered if I could get any
guidance with this in case I am missing something. Thanks.
