Three weeks ago I was working through the Lynda.com "PHP with MySQL
Training" because I wanted to begin using PHP (surprise, surprise).
Anyway, on this video course the teacher explains that because installing
PHP and MySQL is so well understood on a Mac that we may as well just follow
his steps and do it manually. Well, he is installing a different version of
PHP and MySQL to the ones that I was able to download and while what he was
saying way somewhat similar I am guessing that there is a difference
somewhere, and (well) it's not working.
I AM A COMPLETE NOVICE WITH LINUX/FREEBSD. It had not been my intention to
learn the intricacies of Linux. However, I am now neck deep in a mire of
confusion that even MAMP can't seem to sort out for me.
It is purely a guess that I need to start again from a complete clean setup
(reformatting my hard disk and reinstall OS X again) but that is pretty much
out of the question.
I guess my question is:
"How can I completely uninstall PHP so that I can start again?"
Thanks.
