I would like to add to it. The phpinfo(), etc. things does work in my comp, showing the proper functioning of php scripts but there's a different problem in mycase .. little involved ... When I try to communicate with mysql , he data from the form is not send through the $ variables. It is blank. I have tried to run tested programs but it does not give proper results. My error with php is confined to this only. Rest things do workfine ... I suppose :). --
