Installing MySQL on Windows
I've successfully installed Apache 2 and PHP 5 (on Windows XP), which I'm using for website testing. I'd also like to install MySQL for database use with PHP.

I've tried to install MySQL using some instructions I have and the instructions in the MySQL manual, but that's kind of confusing and, though it seems that MySQL was installed on the computer, it doesn't show up with the phpinfo() function and it doesn't seem to be recognized by Apache or PHP.

Can anybody help with this? Are there any websites with clear, step by step instructions for installing MySQL with Apache and PHP from the beginning for someone who doesn't necessarily know a lot about system configuration or using the command line?

Thanks,
Dan
