Ready to install php and have a few questions now.


Does it matter if Windows Script 5.6 is installed before PHP 5.2.5 installer?

HOW/WHERE do I Add C:/PHP, the directory in which PHP 5 is installed, to the PATH System environment variable. OR how do I confirm it is already set?

Is this done from cmd?

In XP open system properties (I ususally right-click My Computer', click the advanced tab and you'll find the place to edit the PATH environment variable. Throw 'environment variable' at the xp help and support if you need more details.

Thanks for that tip :>

I may have some questions so I'll let you know.

Didn't see any posts about making this PHP - MS SQL 2005 work and believe it is useful information.

Some of us are geeks and others are gurus!

php has mssql functions, or you can use odbc functions to connect to your sql 2005 db. Assuming, of course, your sql server is properly configured and any necessary firewalls have opened the mssql tcp port.
