RE: PHP and MySQL

The old DOS path statement still works. I got stuck once by having 
duplicate files in the path an modifying the second file in the path.

The last time I loaded WAMP nothing worked correctly. I am just 
starting a new project and will have to load everything from scratch 
quite soon, so I'm interested in what you find. The PHP group in 
Chicago disbanded, so I have no one local to work with.
