Re: [PHP-WIN] PHP info can't find MySql with IIS web server

Thanks, Don!

I'm in the process of uninstalling everything per Pierre's recommendations 
and going to install from the Web Platform installer.  However, I'm a bit 
confused by your last comment.  You said, "Get Microsoft Web Platform 
installer and install PHP from there" but then the last sentence was "Please 
install PHP from http://php.iis.net"...  With Platform installer installing 
PHP, why would I need to install again from php.iis.net?
