[RESOLVED] MySql, odbc drivers

[srisa]

Hello,
I downloaded mysql5.0 installer. I am using Windows XP(sp2). I don't have odbc driver for mysql. Will it be installed by the installer or should I get it from some where else? I intend to use it primarily from php.
Thank you.

I hope it will be installed when you run the installer. Read the manual for more reference...

Here's the ODBC connector - http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html
Here's the PHP specific connector - http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/

Thank you. libmysql.dll, php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll are already in the php distribution that I downloaded. I got php last week. So I think they are the latest versions and I don't need to get anything new. Am I right? Or do you think I am better off getting the latest releases specified in the links above?

I'm not sure. I just knew where the ODBC link was and found the PHP one as well. I have never used the PHP connector. Sorry.

I downloaded the php connectors. They are of the same version that I have. I intend to use mysql primarily from php. So, right now I am not installing the odbc driver. And. thanks again.
