Thanks, I will (but I think I may have tried that before, based on info from another forum. I’ll try again though.)
I’m thinking I may be better off to go to php4, as there are no reported problems like this with the old version.

No no no, that’s kind of like saying “I’ll just run Windows 98”… it’s really not an option!
Which version of php did you install. Have you seen the corrections and typos page for the book:
Thanks so much for this info. I was not aware of any typos or corrections to the book.
I currently have php5.2.13, which I upgraded to recently in the hope that it would make a difference. It did not.
I will immediately this morning download the php5.3 version you suggest.
I don’t know what the terms “thread safe” or “non-thread safe” mean. It’s possible I have on both occassions downloaded the wrong version.
Thanks again. I’ll let you know the result.
Success! It works!
After answering your post, I immediately started download of suggested php5.3. Installed it, configured it, checked phpinfo() and there it was, the loaded php.ini file and all of the MySQL data that everyone said I should be seeing.
Only glitch was a typo in the session.save_path which threw me an error when trying to start phpMyAdmin (different error this time) telling me to check my PHP configuration. A quick Google pointed me to check the session.save_path, and sure enough, I had a typo there.
The only other thing I had to do was set the timezone, as it was throwing me an error on a date function I use on a Website I’m creating where I use the date functions to establish what day of the week it is for a “daily specials” menu.
It’s a great day in North East Ohio, and the sun is shinning, and the daffodils are beginning to bloom. Best of all, I’ve got my programs running, and I did it myself (with a little help from my friends at SitePoint)!
Dang, I think I’m becoming a “geek”, and I love it!
Thanks to all of you who contributed time to help and advise me. I’ll be on here often, perusing the threads, and probably other questions in the future.
By the way, I think SitePoint has the best books available at great prices for everything realated to Web development, CSS etc. Thanks for those. I wish I could thank the authors personally, Kevin Yank, Rachel Andrew and the rest.
Best Regards,
