You state that you have INSTALLED Apache and PHP, but I did not see you state that MySQL is installed. Make sure that a MySQL server is INSTALLED and that it is CONFIGURED.
INFO U: You do NOT SYNCHRONIZE PHP and MySQL.
I think what you are asking is: how to use PHP to access DATA in a MySQL database?
Per the DMX question:
(1) Connection Name - pick a name that makes sense to you
(2)MySQL Server - In your case, I believe it will be 127.0.0.1 (LOCALHOST) - just type in "localhost" without the "".
(3)User name - this is relatively clear...if you have trouble, try using "root" since it should have all Rights to DB.
(4)Password - again look at 3
I will post some resource links later.
Most important, be patient, you seem to be new to this, and it takes a little time and effort to learn a few of the requisites.
I will try with your suggestions.
Also I will have to install PHP again coz it is not working for some reason.. i read on webmonkey.com to install PHP , prob i did a typo!
Thanks and Regards,
