Gotta mention mod_perl as an option, you just need perl, the DBI and MySQL modules, and mod_perl for your werbserver. Apache works, quite well from what I hear, on Win32, and exceptionally well on Unices. And there's lots of docs out there (perl.apache.org/apache.perl.org) for mod_perl and others for the database stuff. > >Yes, when you write a page with PHP you can just copy >it between servers whic are PHP (MySQL) enabled..... >so porting actually includes installation of server and PHP and >MYSQL (actually in reverse order)..... >No code rewrite neccessary..... I think this is the same for 99% of the mod_perl/DBI stuff with the exception of changing stuff t move it from Win32 to Unix. >> I am searching for a tutorial or person that can help me in linking >> mySQL to a web site.
