PHP Newbie stuck!

[Anon]

OK so I've installed PHP4 and MySQL (Win98 & PWS)

when I:

print phpinfo();

all looks good

but when I try to create a database with:

mysqladmin -u root create mydb

it crashes with a parse error

errm help!?

Are you issuing the MySQL command within a PHP page or within the MySQL console? If you want to make a database using PHP, the function is mysql_create_db("NAME"). You have to have a valid mysql connection open. mysql_connect(host, user, password);

Replace the values with your own and you should be ready to go.
