Hello,
Am trying to work through Sitepoint's Database Driven Website 2nd Edition and have downloaded XAMPP. php seems to be working but i'm having problems in logging on to MySQL via c:\mysql\bin or Program Files\xampp\mysql as mysql isn't installed in root from what I can gather, double-clicked on mysql.exe, command line window quickly appears but disappears .
Am running WinXP with SP2. Any idea's where i'm going wrong and how I can get a command line, ready to run the MySQL client program and connect to MySQL server?.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
