Hi all, hope this isn't too dumb of a question.
I just installed PHP 5 and mySQL 5 on my local machine and all seems good except php can't connect to mySQL. I'm guessing I need the mysqli.dll library in order to use the nifty new password hashing deal in mySQL. I can't find that dll anywhere. It's not on my box, it's not anywhere.
Also, when I upload the product I'm working on to the production environment, can I do something to be sure that the DLL will be available to my code there?
Thanks...

As you say, your a new to all this, so to take the strain out of it all and install http://www.en.wampserver.com/ (wamp) instead, download install done. Basicly its Apache, MySQL and PHP rolled into one and pre-setup for you.

I wouldnt worry about that, 99.99% of php web providers have MySQL setup and ready, plus its likely a .so not a .dll.. its a linux thing.ChickenBoy wrote:Hi all, hope this isn't too dumb of a question.
