hi, all

php 5 is new to all people a long time( actually, I forget how long...). it introduced a more object-oriented design to developer. like, access type(public, private, protected), abstract type(classes that can't create objects), interface support, and more.

althrought it is widerly available, someone still can't get it running with mysql. every time the php is starting up. a message prompted stated that some xtensions can not be found, and therefore, not loaded. so, I have written this to help other and newbie get it start quickly.

note: this is php setup is based-on windows, coz linux based actually complier with source code, so should be no this problem occur

1.) go php web site download it package(a .zip file) and place in a folder on your harddrive

2.) go to the folder in step[1], create a folder on your harddrive, in this case, "c:\php" extract all the files contained in .zip files into the folder you just create(c:\php)

3.) now, if you look at the folder c:\php, you will see there have two files a) php.ini-dist and b) php.ini-recommended. this is php config file. rename the php.ini-recommended to php.ini and copy / move it to you window directory

QUOTE

win98 / winme / winxp ==> windows
winnt / win2000 ==> winnt

4.) use any text editor(e.g. notepad) to open the file renamed above. try find a text string "extension_dir" and set the value of this parameter to the ext folder of your php installation path ( c:\php, c:\php\ext ),

QUOTE

extension_dir = "c:\php\ext\"

5.) try again found some text ";extension=". you have a list of extensions you can use, but some of which might required addition library to function. always check php mannal for more information. please look at three items, a) php_mysql.dll, b) php_mysqli.dll, c) php_gd2.dll( for create graphics ). delete the left most colon(:), save it and close you editor.

6.) on your keyboard, press "winkey+Pause/Break" key, the system properties dialog open. click on advanced tab, look for envionment variables, in system variables or user variables set an addition path to your php installation path and ext ( c:\php, c:\php\ext ), so click on either one(choose new or edit, depending on whether path variable exists), then

QUOTE

if path variable exits, use this form
c:\php;c:\php\ext;%path%

if path variable no found, use this form
c:\php;c:\php\ext

click ok and ok to close all dialog.
cheers, that it, the configuration of php is complete.
of course, you have to config you web server too, about the setting, you can refer to php manuual click here to view online or here to download a copy of it.

after php and web server are completed , try this code to test it work or not

CODE

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

if you see a lot of items, then you successfull.
otherwise, pm me or send me a mail. :)

EasyPHP MySQL errors on Windows Vista Home Premium Platform
Install Php 5 To Work With Mysql

Help! I am trying to build a simple e-commerce shopping cart, so I installed EasyPHP, Apache, MySQL, IIS in one fell swoop. Apache appears to be working fine with green light go. However MySQL is red lighted and stopped. When I test it by using my web brower at http://localhost, I get the following errors: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.Mysql-connect]: [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in C:\EasyPHP\www\includes\database\mysql.Php on line 13 Warning: mysql_connect() [function.Mysql-connect]: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. In C:\EasyPHP\www\includes\database\mysql.Php on line 13 Warning: mysql_get_server_info() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\EasyPHP\www\includes\database\mysql.Php on line 14 Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\EasyPHP\www\includes\database\mysql.Php on line 14 Can you assist me in getting the proper settings correct. I believe that's all that's needed. Thanks a bunch. Sincerely, (Poor) Deandra (smile) -reply by Deandra
