Re: PHP4 binaries with MySQL support?

First you will have to make sure that you have MySQL starting up as automatically, preferably as a service if you can, then if you use the MySQL functions (not ODBC), it will work automatically. If you want to use ODBC functions, you will have to use another program that links MySQL and ODBC, such as MyODBC (you can find a link to it on MySQL's website). MySQL doesn't have a direct ODBC driver itself, only it's own interface (which is what the MySQL built-in extensions allow the use of). Matthew At 11:08 PM 12/10/2000 +0100, you wrote:

Great! Since I am an absolute beginner I have to ask: I installed the MySQL-server in c:\mysql. Will PHP recognize the server automatically when trying to connect via ODBC-functions?
