8th Day: a new hope...

I'm still here, figuring out this thing that have been pestering me for 3 days now, the PHP-MySQL connectivity, and there's still hope for me. I tried another installation and/or configuration but it requires you to restart your pc. I think I'll just continue this tomorrow since I just found about this awhile ago. I hope it works.Ü

7th Day: still stuck at PHP-MySQL connectivity...

It's been two days since I started to try to connect to MySQL using PHP. I don't know what seems to be the problem. I have read and followed the installation and configuration for both PHP and MySQL many times but still no progress. I'm starting to get board seeing the same error again and again. For me, it's better to see different errors once in a while when you try something different than to see the same error again. It just says that you're just doing the same thing even when you're not, know what I mean? When could I get pass this problem?!

6th Day: a little bit of this, a little bit of that...

I continued to fix the problems that I had yesterday. Then came lunch break and I haven't fixed that PHP-MySQL connectivity. After lunch my supervisor asked me to look at this software, teiPublisher, a software designed to validate XML files, convert it to HTML and things like that. It's a bit tricky because its a .jar file but I figured out how to install it. I made it work but couldn't understand how it works. It validated the sample xml file. I tried ko convert it to a html file, it generated an html file but it doesn't have any content. I don't know why but atleast I made it work. :P

5th Day: there can be miracles...

I have installed MySQL Server 5.0 this morning. Then problems came up when I tried to connect to it using PHP. I have setup and configured it just like what its said in the installation instructions in http://www.php.net/ and http://www.mysql.com/. It is also recognized by the Apache HTTP Server but I don't know if I have to modify some settings in Apache because it is not mentioned in the installation instructions. I hope I can fix it by tomorrow.
