Hi Again, Just managed to installed PHP version 5.0 and now wondering was it the smart move because my host provider is using version 4.0 ? my question is will it create a problem if am using ver 5.0 and my host provider using ver 4.0 (compatibility issue) ? ??? Anynyone please before I proceed coding . . . .

Thanks for all the reply . . .managed to fix it. Just realized I have a missing ext folder, just copied it and tried it works now . . .

I did change it already but not so sure what to do libmysql.dll copied from MySQL folder and moved it to PHP folder but the notes says 'so make sure you have copied a file called libmysql.dll to the windows folder too' which windows folder ?

I think I did, here is my phpinfo look like, extension_dir c:\Server\Apache Group\Apache2\ext c:\Server\Apache Group\Apache2\ext Sorry, I pointed it to Apache instead of PHP, let me change it first and let you know the output . . .

I have switched on all the error logs, here is the error . . . Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\server\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\localtown\TMP6ktvtigcu.php on line 3

I did try it but it seems it could not recognize my SQL, same error , I gonno double check it again, I might go back to PHP4 version instead if this does not work . . . Thanks for all the replies . . .

Sorry, I used Dreamweaver MX to check my codes . . .

You could be right . . . I am not sure but if this running, if I type mysql at cmd line hit enter if brings me to MySQL admin then I type my users and password then the status is MySQL server is running . . .
