Where is the best place to find clear and succint descriptions of how to use PHP mysql commands like mysql_close, mysql_data_query, mysql_fetch_assoc, mysql_fetch_row, mysql_field_seek etc etc. ALSO the ereg() command.

Thanks for any suggestions
Dave.

The manual is pretty damn good. User comments help....

The PHP Manual.

If you managed not the read any of the installation instructions or notes, try the very first link that pops up when you Google "php manual."

Then read this page:
http://www.php.net/urlhowto.php
... and configure your browser with a keyword to search the manual directly.

Hey in a related issue, I'm trying to install MySQL on Windows NT. Well I've done this already, and I can go to the command line and 'show databases' and I see that there is the test database in there. But I don't remember ever making a password, or if I did I forgot what it is.

How can I see, set, or alter the password that MySQL uses so that I can use this info in my PHP scripts when I get PHP up and running? Right now I have no idea what it is.
