Sorry if i have gone back to topics that have been covered before...
but the thing is i have gone through alot of instructions on how to set up
this enviroment, but i have either got stuck some where or i encounter some
kind of error.

i have installed PHP version 5.1.2.2 and MYSQL version 5.0 ..if any one has
easy and understandable instructions on how i will be able to connect the two
so that i can be able to create data driven website and user authentic web
pages, please reply to this post.

Thanks
