PHP and MySQL

Introduction

This article provides some simple steps so that you can access MySQL from a Quercus / PHP page. It assumes that you have already installed MySQL and that it is running on port 3306. It also assumes that you have already installed Resin and can at least get "HelloWorld.php" to run (see: PHP Hello World).

For the purposes of this article, I assume that you are working with Resin 3.0.17 and that the directory housing httpd.exe is c:\resin-3.0.17. I will call this directory %ResinHome%.
