Thanks for the prompt reply. The requirements are twofold. I want to use php/mysql for student project work and I have one php application that I would like to use in school namely mrbs (Meeting room booking system). This requires php4 & mysql and ghas been tested with php 4.3.2 and mysql 4.0.14 runing on Apache 1.3.28. I want to run this app on IIS6. There appear to be some incompatibilities between the later versions of Mysql and some versions of php4. So I am getting confused with the different versions of mysql and php that are available. So what versions of php4 and mysql are a good combination?
I was staying clear of php5 as there may be other php apps that I might want to look at and I suppose it takes time for these apps to be upgraded to run under php5 I dare say there might not be a simple answer.
