Thanks, amych. Yeah, this course seems overkill for what I'm planning to do, but it's what they want me to take. And I don't mind learning the installation stuff--I've just hit a wall with it.

amych -- How does XAMPP compare with WAMP? Have you tried both? I played with the latter a while back and it was pretty easy to set up.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've never used WAMP -- I mostly use MAMP, and I have used XAMPP when I'm not on a mac; my sense is that they're all pretty much the same idea. Also, fun to say in succession!

Although easy to get tongue-tied at the end there.

OK, I've found an Apache error log. There are several "file does not exist" errors popping up. Maybe I put the file in the wrong place? But the mysql_test.php file is in the htdocs folder right next to the phpinfo.php file, and the latter one came up just fine.

Gah. This is making me feel stupid.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

So Hubby updated to Firefox 4 and now regrets it. How can he roll back?

It seems like it's having trouble finding mysql functions and phpinfo.php doesn't use any mysql functions so that's not surprising.

Unfortunately, that's all I got.

Thanks, Jon. I bet I'm tweaking the wrong php.ini file or something.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Andi and I are looking at buying a Blu-Ray player online. We want not rock-bottom, but a good balance of features and price. I was looking at a price point around $100, and came up with a Samsung BD-C5500, which I can find new for about $111 at three or more places.

Anyone have any dealings with Crutchfield.com?

I can also get it at newEgg and others.
