i want to download mysql so that i can install it and also php .I was doing from Mysql.com which was not working properly.Please help me and give me step by step procedure to do it.

I suggest that you use one of the packages available to install PHP and MySQL in one go. That way you dont need to install each thing seperatley and then learn how to configure them properly.

I use foxserv from www.foxserv.net, although there appears to be little activity there now, so I might try and find another.

hello hammerhead,

Thnx for your suggestions.

I have downloaded the Foxserver from forser.net but i am iunable to install it, may be some problems with the files.....

Please suggest me if you know anyother foxsever type of softwares.

I need some more suggestions like i have to develop a project using frontend as VB or VB.NET,or VC++,or anyother there is no limitations for that and a backend database like mssql,mysql,oracle,MS access.

What should i do.Plz suggest me.

waiting in anticipation.

Well that is somewhat different, I gave that opinion coming from the website development area, if you wish to use Visual Basic in conjunction with MySQL then you have left my area of expertise, sorry.

well if you want to use vb or vb.net you should have visual studio or visual studio.net for coding and backend you can use access or oracle and you need some knoweledge for odbc connection and obviously you need a veb server and it depends which os you are using and you can go for iis and pws if you are using windows xp or 98

well this may solve your problems

cheers
