Another PHPtriad

I hope you don't mind these types of questions here...I want to start using PHP and MySQL to dish out my websites.
I've never worked with a database or DOS.

I installed PHPtriad and have Apahce open as I type this. So basically where I'm at is a blinking white cursor on Apache.

Are there any good article that will tell me where to go from here. I've never seen this stuff before so I'm very confused. Any materials that might give me the clue I'm after would be great.

Much Thanks.

I'm also pretty new to the world of apache, php and sql. Are you using Triad or each of the applications?

The apache documentation is meticulous (www.apache.org), php is ok - but I felt it lacked a clear definition of some specific windows oriented things.

Get to know your php.ini file (use notepad or wordpad)
Get to know your Apache httpd.conf file
read them and try to figure out what they are saying...

and personally I use mysql and pretty much only access it via php.

I've used PHPTriad a year ago while I was developing web apps in PHP. I don't know much about Apache but for PHP, here are a couple of good links u can try out....

http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/php/index.html -- webmonkey has some great tutorials to get u up and running in a short time

and for mysql:

http://www.mysql.com/doc/R/e/Reference.html - an SQL reference is all u should need coupled with PHPMyAdmin (i think that one is already built into PHPTriad)

good luck!
