Hi I've downloaded XAMPP because I was looking at doing a bit of PHP and mySQL at home to complement my current university studies. The problem is while I can code a bit I don't know how to set anything up! I have managed to figure out how to get normal php stuff working but connecting to mySQL has become a bit of a problem.
I know that the php code involves this
mysql_connect(servername, username, password)
however I have no idea what those three variable are. I've tried opening up the WinMySQLAdmin control panel and looking around there but I'm unsure of what I'm seeing!
Thanks in advance for any help!
