I have php 4.11 loaded and it works fine...I now want to create a database...so I use Winsqladm and create the database...however there is no mention of username and password....do I have to then define and FSN in Windows ODBC administrator (even though I thought PHP access mysql directly?)?

No, all user account information is stored in the "mysql" database. I've never used Winsqladm but surely it has a utility to create MySQL users. If not then I suggest reading: http://www.mysql.com/doc/U/s/User_Account_Management.html Or maybe you want to look into another tool that DOES have user account management functions. But if PHP is accessing MySQL directly (which it should be) then you shouldn't have to do anything with DSN's or ODBC...
