Les Mackenzie:
Can anyone suggest a good php/mysql installation program that is portable from platform to platform?

I used to use one but can't remember the name, it had phpmyadmin built in as well as install capabilities on IIS. ;D

Well, why not just do this: (as easy as... err, ABC-123!)

A: (http://www.php.net/downloads.php)
1. Download PHP 4.3.3 zip pazkage. (http://www.php.net/get/php-4.3.3-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror)
2. Install it - it makes it easy for you.
3. Open C:\WINDOWS\php.ini and search for "session.save_path" - change that value to a real path. (ie C:\PHP\sessiondata)

B: (http://www.mysql.com/downloads/index.html)
1. Download MySQL 4.0. (http://www.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-4.0/mysql-4.0.15-win.zip/from/http://mysql.secsup.org/)
2. Install it.
3. Do a little dance...?

C:
1. In IIS, right click on "Web Sites" and go to Properties.
2. Click Configuration... under the Home Directory tab.
3. Add C:\PHP\php.exe with the extension .php, and click OK.

That's it - it's really not that hard.... after that, you're done!  It's not the fastest installation, but it works.

Jeff Lewis:
And it's nicer to update the versions that way :)

Les Mackenzie:
Sorry...  I think I may have asked the wrong question  :-\, I want to find some cool editing tools that allow me GUI access to both mySQL and PHP in a phpmyadmin/frontpage style.

Like what does everyone out there in Simple Machines Land use?

Chris Cromer:
There is no point in a GUI for PHP because you can't edit things in PHP... well other than php.ini.

For mysql, I have found 3 good gui's, phpmyadmin, sqlyog, and mysql control center.
