Hello,

I am new to MySQL. I have built small Inventroy database using MySQL work bench 5.2 on Windows 7 PC and forward engineered on MySQL Server.

I would like to know what do I need to do in install/corporate PHP with MySQL? Does MySQL already come with PHP installed.

Please give me steps to follow to be successful.

Also, does MySQL sever act a web server as well?

Thanks for your reply.

PHP and MySQL are two different things. PHP CAN communicate with MySQL though, and it's like this:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...etch-array.php

That page will show you how to connect to a DB, and grab information from it!

EDIT: As a side note, and how to install it, look at WAMP if you're on Windows, or LAMP (in the repos) if you're on Linux.

Nope.

Please give me steps to follow to be successful.

Start with a LOT of reading and practice for several years.

The mysql_* functions are due to be deprecated in the next version of PHP. It would be better to use PDO to do the SQL querys (it also reduces the risk of SQL Injections).
