Installation

• Now that we have downloaded the


XAMPP file, the next step is to install it.
– Note - If you are running the Skype VOIP
application, or if you are running IIS Server,
you will need to exit them before
proceeding. Apache cannot start as a
service if Skype or IIS is also running though
when XAMPP is not in use, you can exit
XAMPP to use Skype or IIS.

alternatives for
incoming connections.

• Click on STATUS in the left column to confirm
what’s running and what’s not.

11
Security

• Anyone that knows your IP address can easily breach


your server and change details in such a what that
prevents your accessing it yourself and delete any
websites you may have created. But not to worry, we
will rectify this. Let’s take care of the XAMPP directory
and the MySQL Server first. Click on
http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php link. You
will be redirected to a new page that will allow you to
setup a password for MySQL as well as setup a
username and password for your XAMPP directory.

MySQL and PHP in xampp

• MySQL starts without a password for "root". So


in PHP you can connect the MySQL-Server
with: mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
If you want to set a password for "root" in
MySQL, please use "mysqladmin" under
Console. For example:

– \...\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password secret

15
What is PHP?

• PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor


• PHP is a server-side scripting language, like ASP
• PHP scripts are executed on the server
• PHP supports many databases (MySQL, Informix, Oracle,
Sybase, Solid, PostgreSQL, Generic ODBC, etc.)
• PHP is an open source software
• PHP is free to download and use

16
What is a PHP File?

• PHP files can contain text, HTML tags and scripts


• PHP files are returned to the browser as plain HTML
• PHP files have a file extension of ".php", ".php3", or
".phtml"

17
What is MySQL?

• MySQL is a database server


• MySQL is ideal for both small and large
applications
• MySQL supports standard SQL
• MySQL compiles on a number of platforms
• MySQL is free to download and use

18
• The MySQL database package consists of the following:
– The MySQL server: This is the heart of MySQL. You can
consider it a program that stores and manages your
databases.
– MySQL client programs: MySQL comes with many client
programs. The one with which we'll be dealing a lot is
called mysql. This provides an interface through which you
can issue SQL statements and have the results displayed.
– MySQL client Library: This can help you in writing client
programs in C. (We won't be taking about this in our
tutorial).

The difference between MySQL and mysql

– MySQL is used to refer to the entire MySQL


distribution package or the MySQL server, while
mysql refers to a client program.
