May,
This may not be the right list for your question, as it pertains more to php than mySql.
PHP 5.0 does not automatically load mySql libraries, so the mySql functions are not
available unless you make some changes in the php.ini file. I was looking at the stuff
yesterday the the PHP documentation site -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/. It's probably
better that you read the stuff yourself than if I try to recap what I remember about it.
(I'm still using an older version of PHP).
When reading the PHP docs, be sure you look over the new functions (mysqli_). Looks like
you might need to use them, depending on specifics of your project.
