I have some questions about the PHP forum version. I'm just a PHP-beginner and I have not really found it out yet. The Perl version is easier but PHP seems to be more interesting.
I have some installing questions how to set up a running version in win 2k for testing and developing locally on my computer. (Not on my webhotell, which don't use microsoft products. )
1. Which webserver do you actually recommend?
IIS (version 4 or higher) or Apache 1.3.14 ( win32_r2.exe version)
2. I downloaded PHP4 in two versions from
http://www.php.net, (php404pl1-installer.exe or
www.php.net (shouldn't the name be
www.php.zip?))
Which one should I use for the forum?
3. I installed IIS and php404pl1-installer.exe version. Earlier I have installed mysql 3.23.31 but I couldn't make it work properly. I got a lot of errorcodes from the PHP-code (Demo version) saying that many configs has an error:
An example:
$config[persistent]= "off" causes an error. If I change it to $config['persistent']= "off" it will work.
Next problem is how to connect to the database. I got an error in this sentence:
$this->dbh = mysql_connect($config['dbserver'],$config['dbuser'],$config['dbpass']);
It don't know what dbh is?
I guess I have done some errors during installtion here??
How do I get a working system?
