To make a connection with a mySql database :

1. Use wamp server, to download it click here. Install it.
2. Start it, left click on the icon in the task bar ( I say left click )  
3. PHP > PHP Extensions > select php_mysql
4. In your php page or classe use this code :// mySql connection
   $login_mysqlServer=USER; // your connection user
   $pwd_mysqlServer=PWD’; // password connection user
   $chaine_connexion_mysqlServer = IP_SERVER; // Name or IP of the databasse server
   $bd_mysqlServer=DB_NAME; // Database name
   $con_mysqlServer = mysql_connect($chaine_connexion_mysqlServer, $login_mysqlServer, $pwd_mysqlServer) or die(“Impossible to make connection with  mySQL Server “);
   $selected = mysql_select_db($bd_mysqlServer, $con_mysqlServer) or die(“Impossible to make connection with  mySQL Server “);
5. Congratulation… You made a connection with your mySql database by using PHP.
