PHP is a VERY full-featured web application environment. It does many many things, including what you've specified. It will enable you to publish databased content on the web. > Secondly, it appears that the order of installation / compilation is > critical .... ie mySQL has to be installed first, then Apache / PHP .... > otherwise nothing works properly ..... is this an accurate assessment ?? You've got it. Install MySQL first (from source, binary or port). Follow the execllent INSTALL.DSO instructions that come with PHP. (Basically, you install Apache, then compile and install PHP, then finish up configuring Apache and you're good to go!) Good Luck! Apache/PHP/MySQL are a blast! -- Michael A.
