ok, i'm running all this off my own computer. WinXP with apache 1.3.x. How can i create a database? So far I've searched online and found these answers:
1. create through a php page
2. create through phpmyadmin
3. create through dos prompt
But i had problems with all three respectively
1. Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in c:\dn\nuclub\datatest.php on line 5
Unable to select database
2. couldnt get phpmyadmin to work
3. dos prompt didnt know what it was
-----------------------------
I know i have mysql installed because phpinfo says its cool. Something i thought i noticed while looking around in different tutorials was that something was always mentioned about connecting to a database first. How can you connect to a database that isnt created yet. And one of them said that i need to "know my username and password" dont i have to create a username and password first? All i want to do is create a database through a php page.
