As we all know, PHP learning program can only run on the server side, so to run the program you write, in addition to downloading PHP program compiler, but also download a Web server software. If it is using Microsoft's iis,php performance is not fully play out. As long as the Apache and PHP collocation is the best solution, this advantage is particularly prominent under Linux, we download the following together to install:

Since PHP 5 no longer binds MySQL client libraries, as we did when we ran the PHP program
Fatal error:call to undefined function mysql_connect ()
Please do not worry, we manually activate the Php_mysql.dll extension Library in php.ini, it is OK, the method is very simple, the php.ini-dist in C:\php is named PHP.ini, find the following statement
......
; Extension=php_mssql.dll
; Extension=php_msql.dll
; Extension=php_mysql.dll
; Extension=php_oci8.dll
.....
The first is to remove; Extension=php_mysql.dll front ";" (; for comments), the second step is to copy the Php_mysql.dll from the C:\php\ext to C:\WINDOWS (C:\WINNT), or to increase the path value of the environment variable; C:\php\ext. Save and start Apache.
