creating a database

Post by elecktricity »

hello, I was looking into making a database so I went and good a book on PHP and MySQL, but now im tring to make my database and it's saying to type certain commands in the "command line interface' or something and so I tried command prompt thinking that was it keeps telling me that:
'mysql' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Were would I go to get this program there talking about... the pictures in the book also look like it's in command prompt, im thinking there using a different OS or something. Im using windows xp.

It sounds like you havent installed mysql.... got to http://www.mysql.com/ and download the win32 binary for client/server. Once you install that you should be rolling :)
