i have made some pages in windows and tested in easyphp1-8 ... which is running sucessfully in easyphp...
intregrated with mysql database .....
1) will these codes work on linux ....?
The main problem is
where do i put these files ..which is inside html folder now inside www

where do i put that students database which is inside data folder in mysqlfolder in easyphp folder..now

and those mysql_connect.php files which is in www now....

my all pages use require_once('../"mysql_connect.php")
it is one step above the code files (php files)....

i ran the code in linux (register.php) but it says undefined...function or something
escape.....
those escape function is not recognised....

it is said that mysql , php,apache are running when i see status...in linux....

what ammenment is to be made

i am all confused ....var/....and all...
i have posted it here as all mysql ...php ...linux are open source
any open source expert here....

the path the files has is in that require......mysql_connect.php....
so i can make the code work...
thanks for help

Rami, I have only switched to the Ubuntu distro and had about the same problem as you - but believe it or not, it's easily solved.

What I'd recommend you to do, is check out XAMPP, from ApacheFriends.
It's a complete pre-configured Apache server with MySQL and PHP5 installed.

Checkout ApacheFriends for further information.

By the way the solution is veryeasy here.
All u need is to set up a phpmyadmin in one apahce root path i.e under yoursite documents
then just export through phpmyadmin all the folder of mysql through it, it will return with .sql file.

then just run this command on command prompt
mysql -u(user) -p<file.sql
it will prompt here for password
just enter the password
that is it all the tables and structures will be created in few seconds
and rest all php files put in the document root i.e www folder, everything should work fine
