PWS is the Personal Web Server -- a little web server provided by microsoft supposedly good enough to host pages over an intranet.
Thanks to the input of everyone, I managed to make a little progress in my problem. This is what I did:
I edited the php3.ini file as follows.
1. changed 'extension_dir' to point to my phy-install-dir which was c:\php3
2. pointed 'browscap' to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\inetsrv\browscap.ini
....and presto the php hiccups seem to ok now. When I include a phpinfo() I do see an extension with MySQL.
But now I see a different error message on the browser when I include $db = mysql_connect("localhost")
The error message is
Error: Unable to connect to MySQL server: : '' :
Thanks in advance.
With Best Regards
Fouwaaz
PS: And sorry folks for my obvious bungling with the fonts and stuff -- my email account is also fairly new, sending messages in html and asking for return receipts -- needs a bit of getting used to. Thanks

It is Personal Web Server -- but I am not sure whether any special
configuration is necessary for MySQL and PHP3. I installed PWS first
and then MySQL and lastly PHP3.
Thanks & Regards

Did you configure your web server (Apache?) for MySQL and PHP?records.

Subject: Unable to establish database connection via PHP3
Hello mysql gurus
I am fairly new to mysql and php3.
mysql server is running ok and I created a table and inserted a few
php3 is also working ok and I am able to run a regular 'Hello World'script.
BUT when I include a phpinfo() and call that -- I don't see an entry--
with the extension MySQL.
Does this mean that the MySQL connection was not successful? I am
unable to query using PHP3.
I know that there could be any of hundreds of things wrong with the
set-up but would be happy to receive some pointers to trouble shoot.
Best Wishes for the Season to Everybody
Fouwaaz
