http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?52,87865,146758 I think i found my problem, if anyone else if having same issues... look at this thread for help

this might be the problem, that file does not exsits at all in php or mysql directory. in my php ini there is. ****************** [MySQL] ; Allow or prevent persistent links. mysql.allow_persistent = On ; Maximum number of persistent links. -1 means no limit. mysql.max_persistent = -1 ; Maximum number of links (persistent + non-persistent). -1 means no limit. mysql.max_links = -1 ; Default port number for mysql_connect(). If unset, mysql_connect() will use ; the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the ; compile-time value defined MYSQL_PORT (in that order). Win32 will only look ; at MYSQL_PORT. mysql.default_port = ; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in ; MySQL defaults. mysql.default_socket = ; Default host for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). mysql.default_host = ; Default user for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). mysql.default_user = ; Default password for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). ; Note that this is generally a *bad* idea to store passwords in this file. ; *Any* user with PHP access can run 'echo get_cfg_var("mysql.default_password") ; and reveal this password! And of course, any users with read access to this ; file will be able to reveal the password as well. mysql.default_password = ; Maximum time (in seconds) for connect timeout. -1 means no limit mysql.connect_timeout = 60 ; Trace mode. When trace_mode is active (=On), warnings for table/index scans and ; SQL-Errors will be displayed. mysql.trace_mode = Off ******************************* but i dont see if there is a different file i can use or not. there is a libmySQL.dll (only .dll file in mysql directory)

I don't know where too lol. first time using php and mysql. is there a specific position in the php.ini to put it or can i do it just anywhere?

I was finally able to connect to PHP, but not PHP cant talk to MySQL. http://www.expertsrt.com/tutorials/Matt/install-apache.html is what I am following step by step using: php v. 5.2.6 / apache 2.2.9 / mysql 5.0.51b in the tutorial it states: "Uncomment the line extension=php_mysql.dll (around line 650) in your php.ini and (re)start Apache." extension=php_mysql.dll does not exsist doing this on a windows xp machine for testing purposes. fresh install of windows and the other 3 things stated above.

There is a alias module but it is a ".so" not a ".c"

I just installed php 4 on my apache webserver I am told by a fellow webmaster to ******************************* "Open the httpd.conf (C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd.conf) file and find the line: <IfModule mod_alias.c> Immediately under this line insert the following lines: ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe" ********************************* I am looking at the httpd.conf and there is no <IfModule mod_alias.c> I do have a <IfModule alias_module> where I put the ScriptAlias /php/... but the webserver did not recognize my <?php phpinfo(); ?> test. Any help will be greatly appreciated

I need to distribute a survey to my users. What do you think the best way of doing this is? I was thinking having a php page connected to a database, but is there a easier way in php to just have it update to an excel spreadsheet on my site itself so I can go in and look at it live? If so where would I start/look for the how and some documentation for completing the task?

I agree. it isnt that type of documentation it is more Images on this page consist of: <image names> this page is linked to <page names> etc... etc... I think if you know how to code you can read that it is an image file in the code itself. That is why I asked for some examples of the comment headers people use to I can show the bossman that we might be going overboard with the comments. he is a comment nazi i think

Oh I totally agree, they are just going overboard. They want every image, link, etc... documented in the header and in the page itself. figured i could find a better way of doing it from my piers here.

I work for a company that required a specific comment header on everypage to show incomming and outgoing data, etc... are there any others out there that have to deal with this so called "good coding practice". Could you please post an example because if it is better than the one I am currently using I would love to try to implement it here.
