Author How do I get MySQL commands to work in PHP?

Well, I've got MySQL and PHP both working, but they are not working
together. I did some research onlne, and discovered that MySQL support is
not enabled by default, and I found instructions for enabling them, but they
were for linux and I'm on a windows machine, and they were a little bit
cryptic. Since it stands to reason than many of you have already dealt with
this issue, I thought I'd ask. Could someone please help me. It would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Easy google usage gives many links to documentation that has to do with
installing php/apache/mysql on microsoft environments, here is one

If you will use the machine for more than just playing around, I do strongly
suggest you look at the *nix solutions like linux.

if you are using the command-line, you need to create a PHP.INI from one of
the samples.
then you'll find out the extension lines are coded wrong because the DLLs
are installed in the ext subdirectory. try
extension=ext/php_mysql.dll
instead of the INI's default
extension=php_mysql.dll

MySQL then works great.

if you are using XAMPP (includes web server)
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html , you won't have to mess with
this stuff. just plug and go.
