Answer 1

Well since I've never heard of "phptaid" and apparently neither has Google, I'm guessing you don't have the correct software installed. In order to have a PHP and MySQL environment, you will need to install PHP and MySQL using the downloads from their respective websites. If you wish to run a web server, you will also need a server like Apache. If you're unable to get the correct links yourself, you should probably not even bother trying, as PHP and SQL programming is immeasurably more difficult than finding a website with a search engine.

Answer 2

Just download XAMPPlite. It's a set-and-go web server that includes Apache, MySQL and PHP. It doesn't require any configuration, you just have to extract it and launch its control panel.

well u could use wamp to set up mysql and php



and to connect to mysql with php

u simple write



mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_username', 'mysql_password');











wamp can be found at

http://www.en.wampserver.com/download.php



this program is only good if your gonna test stuff on your own computer and is in my oppenion not stable or secure enough for online usage same goes for xamp
