Long time since i have posted here....

I was wondering if anyone wanted to tell me how to set up a local MySQL database on windows XP. I am using apache web server by the way.

Download and install MySQL from http://www.mysql.com/ and then run winmysqladmin.exe (in the bin directory). Once you've done that, you should be good to go. I'd recommend also downloading phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/), as it makes managing your databases much easier.
