You'll need to download and install MyODBC from php.net, then, using
Windows' control panel you need to configure a DSN for every mysql
database you want to access through ODBC. Very straight forward
configuration.
If you want to access MySQL directly through MySQL functions, you
wouldn't need MyODBC, but coding for ODBC gives you more portability.
