Hi,
I have downloaded the latest MySQL for windows, I have read through the recent kiupa tutorial on “getting to grips with mysql”. And worked through this fine and Mysql seems to be running a okay.
What I want to know is how to set up MySql so I can test my Flash applications which use Mysql using a Mysql server running just on my Machine. I only have internet access during the evenings so I want to be able to test without the net.
I used this line in php to connect to my database
mysql_pconnect (“localhost”, “root”, “mypassword”);
But it didn’t seem to work, is there any way in php I can use a function ala “trace” in actionscript. To see if it has connected to the database.
So can you set up Mysql to run locally on your machine?
How do you find out the username and server address of this local machine Database?
I will be using Php, do I need to install anything for this?
Do I need to install any other type of server?
Any help would be very appreciated…
Thanks in advance
