Configuring MySql server on my own machine?

[Mechtech]

I want to run MySql on my own machine just to test code

i already have apache and PHP running and working fine for the localhost

I installed MySQL, just curious what i need to setup to allow my PHP scripts to connect to it, Or what i need to use to connect to it.

I use PHPMyAdmin:

http://www.phpmyadmin.net/

Download the appropriate file for your system, and it should contain a set of instructions. If you need more help, just ask...plenty of us here use this package. :cool:

I am pretty sure the latest builds for windows have mysql support built in.

It should just work :)

It can be difficult to get MySQL/PHP/Apache all working harmoniously on a Windows machine. There is a cool all-in-one MySQL/PHP/Apache (and more) installation available from abriasoft.com called Merlin server that makes the whole process very simple. It's also *free* if you can believe that, so you might want to check it out.

I don't know how far along you are, but this site helped me get php, apache and mysql running.
