I wish that would work for me, but I still don't get MySQL or MySQLi. I followed the tutorial carefully several times. I've tried so many things, but nothing works. Still no connection to MySQL. Please help!

Thank you for a great tutorial. It's the best I've seen, and I've looked at a lot for the past week.
I've used:
apache_2.2.14-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
php-5.2.12-src.zip
mysql-5.1.43-win32.msi

Ultimately, if I can't get MySQL working well through PHP, I've wasted a lot of time. I gotta have that.
But, no matter what I do – moving php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll, changing the lines in PHP.ini, adding IIS and configuring it carefully, etc., etc. – I just can't get PHP to load MySQL.
My http://localhost is working well with PHP files, but the configuration page does not include the MySQL sections.
So, when my PHP files try to connect to MySQL, they always fail.
Please help me overcome this last block to a good installation.
Many Thanks!

Actually I was able to find my answer. Changing the following in the phpMyAdmin configuration file:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = ‘localhost’;

to this:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = ‘127.0.0.1′;

worked.

My question is, why did I have to change this information?
