I have windows 2000 server with PHP 4.1.0 and Mysql. I'm not quite sure how PHP interelates with Mysql. Does PHP access Mysql directly? Or does it via the Windows ODBC. The reason why I am asking is because I have a user who wants a database created and wants to know the credentials to access the database...so I then used MyCC to create the database but there is no mention of username and password. Only if I create a FSN in the ODBC manager (by the way I loaded myodbc) does it ask for username and password...is this correct? Any help appreciated.
