Hi,

Yes you can install PHP+MYSQL on Win98, what u need to do is that follow these steps

1)Download and Install mySQL for windows the interactive setup will automatically install mySQL on your PC.

2)Then Install PHP on your hard drive by copying PHP in your "c:\", then enter the PHP folder and go to the conf folder and open the "httpconf" file in any text editor and uncomment a line with your default port
127.0.0.1 and copy the following code in thehttpconf file at the end

ScriptAlias /php3/ "c:/<path-to-php-dir>/"

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml

Action application/x-httpd-php3 "/php3/php.exe

3)the start Apache web server and type local host in the address bar if you get a page which says "It has worked" then write a small php script eg. <?php phpinfo(); ?>
and if you get a page providing information about PHP then that is it.

but remember about its licene

If you're referring to MySQL's license, it has changed in the last month or two such that there is no longer any restrictive licensing on Windows platforms.

Also, if you want a quick setup, download PHPTriad at http://download.sourceforge.net/phptriad/phptriadsetup.zip. It's free, quick, easy and I don't make a dime from it. Actually, I'm just glad sourceforge is hosting it since it's used up about 6.5GB of bandwidth in the last 10 days.

Hi!
Thanks, but your steps didn't say install Apache server, should I do that before anything done ?
Do u really have try what u said before ?
Really run a script that working with your database on your Win98 pC ?
My friend told me he got error on that, he is using Win98+PHP+Apache+MySQL.
