I have php installed and a working copy of phpMyAdmin, MySQL and Apache2.0.58
on a windows2k box.
phpMyAdmin works fine, as do a couple of other php scripts. However, when I go
to try to code in php myself, I get a blank screen. I downloaded zend-studio to
try to see if I could trace the fault with my setup. The studio shows that I
can do simple echo scripts -- but that I get the following error when I try to
connect to the mySQL database
Debug Error: C:\Homepage\psychtest\private\search.htm line 13 - Call to
undefined function mysql_pconnect()
the following call (from your php tutorial) also returns nothing.
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
The zend studio debugger returns the following message...
Notice: C:\Homepage\psychtest\private\search.htm line 10 - Undefined index:
HTTP_USER_AGENT
Am I supposed to insert a reference to a library of functions somewhere at the
start of my code?
I was able to enter phpinfo in the zend debugger, and I noticed that the info
returned was NOT the same as the settings in the php.ini file in my
C:/php/php.ini file.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions you can provide. Have a great
day!

Place your php.ini file in C:\WINNT
Ensure that you have included php_mysql.dll in your ini file.
Ensure registered globals on turned on if you wish to use $_SERVER

I don't believe this list should become a platform for the Windows VS
Linux debate. I did my best to suggest nothing as to how he would get
Windows 2000, because quite frankly, I don't have a suggestion, or a
solution. I do know that a mondern-day Linux distro would be just as
resource intensive, unless you'd expect a Windows guy to work strictly
from the console.
All I am trying to suggest is that if you are going to make the jump
to Linux/Apache and you are not familiar with either, be prepared to
devote time to getting it working. Otherwise, stick with what works
instead of trying to "reinvent the wheel."

Are you suggesting that John Jairo Vega Angulo should go out and buy(I
am sure that you are not suggesting that he steals one) a copy of a
suitable version of Windows to then discover that on his old hardware it
runs as slow as a pig and therefore should also go out and buy some new
hardware. As well as go through the learning curve of the new Windows OS.?
