Can anybody give me an article link or something regarding php and mysql in ISAPI?
I use php on a linux server and it works fine. But i want to know if i can use it on IIS 7.5 with PHP 5.2.** running under ISAPI extension. I also want to use MySQL on it.

Just install the MySql ODBC driver on the server

okay, but I have written some pages for a project i've taken and used htaccess to rewrite the urls.( I personally use Apache with mod_rewrite loaded on my computer ) I've not used ISAPI extension before but my client bought a domain and that server suppots ISAPI. So can I use same htaccess file or after making some changes in it?
Or do I've to start from origion? Cause, it's difficult to open up each page and change the urls ! I google for some time and found isapi_rewrite but i barely know anything about it. Any help for this?

I'm really stuck in here. What should i do?

Thanks in advance.

What are you running PHP on?


Windows or *Nix?

actually, i use windows with xammp. But my web host runs iis with php isapi ext. It doesn't have apache i guess.
One more thing, my web host use parallel plesk and it sucks.
I'm familiar with cpanel and it's so cool.

Plesk is fine for Windows server management, you simply have to used to it. I ran Windows servers with Plesk for a few of years before getting involved with *nix and WHM/cPanel and for me cPanel was a pain to find my way around at first.

PHP running as ISAPI on IIS (Windows) doesn't need the ODBC driver as it is already compliled into PHP but you may have to uncomment the php_mysql.dll entries in php.ini or have the host do it.

ohkay, i feel it maybe just because i'm not used to it.
Anyway, how can i use htaccess to rewrite urls.
I wrote htaccess for localhost as i said in previous post.
Can i use same? Does plesk support apache?
Thankyou for explaination.

Plesk is just the management interface, it is the server that supports .htaccess and IIS does NOT use .htaccess as it is an Apache only configuration file
