Hello. I have installed PHP4 and MySQL (.dmg) on Mac OSX v3 client. Everything is up and running. I have created tables in my DB, established user privileges, etc through the 'terminal' app. I have turned on web sharing through the 'preferences' panel and dragged my .php files to the 'sites' folder.
Accessing localhost/127.0.0.1 I see the .php files - simple scipts work.
The problem is connecting to my DB and being able to execute a simple query on any of my tables. Below is an authentication script I found. I want to match username/password entries. Unfortunately I cannot even establish a connection to my DB, the $PHP_AUTH_USER AND _PW don't seem to do anything and I keep getting the 401 error. What can I do to get at my tables? (I apologize about the long email, but if anyone has some advice please let me know) Do the .dmg files set up PHP as a standalone/cgi instead of an apache module?
