As a side note Rick, would it be hard to build into the installer a system that checks for this instead of displaying a meaningless error ? It's ok if your a PHP expert and understand the errors, but im not.. and im sure i wont be the first.

I ran into a similar situation. PHP 4.4.2 is working great for me. PHP 5.0 give me connect errors to MYSql.

There is still a little bit of a learning curve for me. I am getting there.

Consider Rick said he is running with all the latest versions then surely he must be able to either provide the correct DLL's or at least point us in the right direction ?

One thing you have to keep in mind is that while infopop (groupee) creates products to be run on webservers, they do not develop the technologies which run them, they are in no way tied to Apache/PHP/MySQL/IIS, they merely develop software to run utilizing them...

Yeah your right, easy to forget.

Well if anyone can point me at the correct DLL's to enable me to use the latest PHP and MYSQL please drop me a PM as i'd much rather start out with the latest versions from day 1.

I created this file, however, when I use it, I only see phpinfo(); on my browser. Am I doing something wrong when I create this file?
