Connector: MySQL with PHP

Post by java_us »

I was following the steps from a book, and the connector for the link is not working (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php). I googled for the driver and that someone mentioned that it is no longer needed to download the connector additional. But I don't know how to configure it (from the original package). Can someone help me with this please.

MySQL version: 5.0.67
PHP: 5.2.6

Thanks in advance.

I guess so.. The book said to download file similar to
php_5.2.0_mysql_5.0.270win32.zip. But in my case it would be different because I downloaded the different version. It mentioned that it contained two dll files and supposed to copy to some directory and configure php.ini file.

oohhh the book is trying to show you how to install apache + php + and mysql?? ok.. well.. skip that install chapter lol.. download WAMP in google (Windows Apache, Mysql, PHP).. it's a 3 in 1 software and after installation, you're done and good to go start programming in PHP and you wont needing configurations and dlls and stuff.. but you'll get to learn them when you're moving on advance PHP topics and subjects.
