Author Step by Step on Using PHP5 with mySQL 4.1.17

Hi,

I have installed PHP5.03 to my Win2k workstation. I will be connecting
to a mySQL 4.17 database on my workstation and eventually our Windows
2003 server running IIS.

I know that mysqli needs to be configured to work on my workstation.
If someone could point me to a page with step by step instructions or
tell me how to:
a) Which DLL's and files have to be located, copied and where they are
supposed
to go. I have downloaded the latest windows zip of php files so I
should be all set.
b) Changes necessary to php.ini
c) Changes to path statements and which files these paths should be
included in.
d) What do I need to set up PHP to run through IIS.

If there isn't such a page, I promise to compile all these instructions
on a page and publish it.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Hi Mick,

Overwrite existing libmysQL.dll to c:\php\libmySQL.dll from C:\Program
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin\libmySQL.dll.

Good luck :)

No need to do that. PHP comes with libmysql.dll that is identical to one
from mysql distribution.
