Install, configure and integrate PHP and MySQL on Windows

"After all, PHP, which will be on the same server, is not yet generally available for 64-bit hardware"

This is true, however, for anyone interested there is a version available (but not guaranteed stable):

PHP x64 for Windows is available at http://www.fusionxlan.com/PHPx64.php

Latest is 5.1.5, however, once 5.2 is released it will be ported soon after.

Hi,
I am having trouble getting your sample php file to display the table contents. I am viewing the php site from my xp pc, not the browser on the server.
I recieve the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in D:\Web\phpbb\dbtest.php on line 6

I would love to get this working before moving on!

Hi all,

To get all the hassle out of the way for installing and setting Apache - PhP - MySql, you can look at the project at http://vertrigo.sourceforge.net/

This project combines Apache-PhP-MySql and other things like SqlLite etc. in a single setup. A single setup executable sets up all softwares. It also comes up with a common page for looking at the status of various components and change setting.

Regards
Jigar

Thank you for this post. It was very helpful. There were two typos (at least I think they were) in the dbtest.php text.

The first is "php" was missing after "<?" (without the quotations, of course), so that it should have read "<?php>"; I could not get the page to display the records until I made that change.

And the second (not at all critical) is near the end of that same file (dbtest.php) it should read "<br>" instead of "<br;>" (with quotations) if you want each record to be displayed on its own line.

Again, thank you for this article.

After really battling to get php & mysql set up on IIS your tutorial was a great help.
I did have to change the tags from <? to <?php and remove the space between the '?" and the '>' in the closing tag - and then IT WORKED!
Thank you.

How to do these ?

Now, create a system variable named "PHPRC" and assign to it the path to the php.ini file. If you opt to do this instead of creating a registry entry to achieve the same goal, make sure your PHPRC variable contains only the path to php.ini, and not the path plus the php.ini file name.

Hi

I am using the article for my own adventure. Is it possible to use just a windows XP machine. I am not worried about making my application accessible to everyone.

Will I face any problems if I ignore the first few steps regarding IIS ?

I guess in that case I will need apache. Which version of apache can I use ?

Thanks
Pranam

to get PHP to talk to MYSQL I had to do the following:

Locate the libmysql.dll file in C:\PHP and copy it to C:windows\system32.

You may need to copy php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll from C:\PHP/EXT as well

Hope this is useful
