I have been having a number of problems trying to get php to connec to mysql and have decided that it would be best to do a complete reinstall using xampp. Before doing so however, I want to remove my existing php, mysql etc.
How do I uninstall PHP properly from windows xp pro?
Thanks in advance.
If this doesn't work I am going to look at asp.net because trying to get this to work has been completely rediculous.

if you dont have the patience to get it installed you probably wouldn't have the patience to learn anyway. as for removing, i work on linux so its as simple as deleting the files. windows however has a registry. have you looked in control panel-> add / remove? if its not in there i would safely assume you can just delete the files on windows aswell.
I would always reccomend against installing XAMPP, because those all-in-one solutions don't teach you anything.
But that's just me. I'm pretty sure PHP doesn't install anything to the registry (as I have installed PHP 4 to C:\PHP, and then swapped that directory with just the files from PHP 5, and it worked fine), so you can easily and simply just DEL C:\PHP* /y
