Chapter 1. Installing and Configuring MySQL
Welcome to the first chapter of Sams Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL, and Apache. This is the first of three installation-related chapters, in which you will learn how to set up a development environment. We'll tackle the MySQL installation first, primarily because the PHP installation is much simpler when MySQL is already installed.
In this chapter, you will learn
How to install MySQL
Basic security guidelines for running MySQL
How to work with the MySQL user privilege system
