Answer 1

In order to do some of our tutorials (or program with PHP and MySQL in general) you need to be able to run PHP and MySQL. Although most free hosts do not have PHP and MySQL support there are some that do, and there are also many low cost hosting options available. If you already have hosting and are unsure if you have PHP and MySQL support you should contact your host directly. If you are shopping for hosting be sure that they support PHP and that your package includes at least one MySQL database.

Another option is to install PHP and MySQL directly onto your Windows computer. If you are a Mac user you already have the capability and just need to activate PHP and MySQL.

After hours of trying and re-trying and fustration, I finally installed PHP to work with MYSQL and IIS 6.0 Manager on a Windows XP machine. These are the steps I took. Hope that they work for you...

I installed PHP and MySQL on Windows XP platform with IIS 6.0. Please note if you are running IIS 5.0 Manager that comes with the Windows CD, the first thing I did was search google for "Download Microsoft IIS 6.0 Manager" and go to Microsoft to download and Install it. Once installed IIS 5.1 and IIS 6.0 manager will coexist in "Control Panel -> Administrative Tools".

(I haven't used IIS7 so I cannot comment on it yet)
