Installing Some Things Locally
Hey, I got a new harddrive, and I need to install some things locally. What's the best solution for each (Windows XP Home)?
#1- ALREADY INSTALLED MySQL
#2- Need a MySQL GUI
#3- PHP (went to install, asked what kind of server...i stopped installation)
Thanks!

2. MySQL for Windows should (I think) come with winMySql or something similar. It's a MySQL admin frontend. I prefer phpMyAdmin, though.
3. You'll want a webserver like Apache installed first. Then install PHP. Select Apache in the server list (though I doubt if the PHP install supports Apache yet). If it doesn't support Apache still, nevermind, carry on with the install. You'll just have to add a few lines to your Apache config files.

If you get one of the many PHP/MySQL/Apache bundles out there, to work on windows all you need to do is copy and paste a few files into the windows folder to get all 3 things working.
I redid mine last week, I think the files were php.ini, php4apache.dll and php4ts.dll - the only one I had to modify was the php.ini (all went in windows folder - win98se)
place I got my bundle from (ages ago) is firepages.com.au (my bundle also included perl, mysqlfront and the manuals) but do a search, plenty out there. also comes with phpmyadmin included
