Can I Brag??

Post by Wayne Herbert »

Two weeks ago, I'd never seen PHP or MySql. Thanks to some salient answers from you folks in these forums, a bunch of browsing of questions already asked, plus about five late, late nights, I:

a) got hold of an ISP with big storage and big bandwidth
b) installed MySql on my Win 2K machine.
c) installed Sambar server so that I could
d) install PHP on my Win 2K machine, so that I
e) could install and run phpMyAdmin.

With all of this, I was able to take a ThumbsPlus database (Access 2000) and convert it MySql, then build a custom web page or two to present thumbnails and photos.

Yah, it is simple, and from the posts I can see there is still much to learn about PHP, but one point is obvious. You can get something up in PHP pretty quick and it werks gude! So, thanks for the help, and thanks for this forum that puts so much expertise in one place.

What's Sambar server, and why would you need it for installing PHP?

Sambar server is an alternative to Microsoft IIS/PWS for windows. It offers a lot of functionality and a well done interface. (http://www.sambar.com). MS just kind of chaps my ass by making IIS on windows clients brain damaged... they will only server one URL.

I installed it so that I could have a localhost server on which to install PHP, so that I could install phpMyAdmin. My ISP offeres phpMyAdmin on their end, and I never could get a decent dump file out of the mysqldump command line function that would work in phpMyAdmin.
