After installing PHP and MySQL I get the following error running "install.php".

Any suggestion is appreciated!

You need to set the error reporting in your php.ini to 7 ;)

Thank you for the immediate reply :) I have got my database now but I get an error in "http://localhost/vblite/index.php".

Thanks for any help.

switching "short_open_tag = Off" to "On" in PHP.INI will help
:p

[mixman]

i'm havingthe same problem and it would be nice to show where the lines are at in the pnp.ini file because i can't find them in my pnp.ini file some would like to shead a little light on this thanks

[LutzArnold]

Important are two lines in php.ini:

; Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are recognized.
short_open_tag = On

; Enable the PHP scripting language engine under Apache.
engine = On

Hope this helps :)

Sven mentions that you need to set the error reporting to 7 in the php.ini. Being a newbie to all this it took me a bit of time to find the php.ini. I found it in the 'c:\winnt' directory. Not the directory where I told 'php' to install to (that was actually empty??)

Once I found and opened the php.ini, I found that the error reporting parameter is actually called 'error_reporting' and it appears that it normally takes symbolic values that are references to numeric values that are 'and'ed together. I commented out the existing error_reporting parameter, and coded a new one as recommended and I was GOOD TO GO!

example:
;error_reporting = E_ALL; display all errors, warnings and notices
error_reporting = 7


Just thought I would try to clarify that original post. Thanks Sven!!! :)
