[Phplib-users] PHPLIB setup

[twidlar <tw...@cr...>]

Now that I have installed (maybe) PHPLIB into PHPTriad \apache\php 
and php.ini, I have gotten PHPTriad's index.php to come up properly.

I moved on in the installation of PHPLIB.

For step 5 of PHP Base Library Documentation (page 2 of 7), 
in local.inc, I left the definition of DB_Example alone.

  class DB_Example extends DB_Sql {
    var $Host     = "localhost";
    var $Database = "example_database";
    var $User     = "example_user";
    var $Password = "";
  }

For step 6 I executed the DOS commands

  cd   c:\apache\php\phplib-7.2d\stuff\
  c:\apache\mysql\bin\mysql -h localhost example_database
<create_database.mysql

The result was ERROR 1049: unknown database 'example_database'.

It looks like these commands are to set up tables but not the 
database itself. What I need to do for that?

Thanks

[Phplib-users] PHPLIB setup

OK, PHPLIB is installed into PHPTriad \apache\php and php.ini,
PHPTriad's 
index.php has come up properly.

I moved on in the installation of PHPLIB.

To fix ERROR 1049: unknown database 'example_database' while trying
to do 'create_database.mysql', I found and downloaded the MySQL
manual. I found there is a CREATE DATABASE needed before the 
tables can be created, which is all create_database.mysql does.

So I created the database then the tables.

I then ran index.php3. No sweat. Sessions and database work for me.

Next, to get ZendIDE to talk to PHPTriad (Apache, PHP, MySQL) + PHPLIB.

Thanks

[Phplib-users] PHPLib vs other libraries?

[Nelson A. <nel...@st...>]

Hello

   I am the Technical Director of a small web dev shop.   I have been 
lurking here for about 2 weeks.
We currently use a mix of Perl and PHP for programming of applications. 
 I would like to use  a library
of tools to extend the features we can put into our apps.  I would like 
to get some idea about the
similarities and differences between PHPLib and and other library like 
it.  The only other one I found
so far is Pear.

Objective and partisan answers are welcome.
