Hi, I wonder if anyone can be of assistance. I am doing a few web projects at the moment in PHP using mySQL as a back end but it's so time consuming to keep FTPing the files up to my ISP to test every change.
So I decided to install PHP and mySQL on my Mac running Mac OS X 10.3. Installation of PHP went very smoothly and is running fine with the Apache installation that came with Mac OS X. However I am really struggling to get mySQL up and running. DOwnlaoded it from the mySQL site and run the install and followed the instructions as best I could but I have no idea how to link it in with PHP and have no idea to test if it's installed okay or check if it's running. Can someone please offer me some simple step by step instructions?
Thanks in advance,
Richard Seale
