Thanks for the info Ric! Very informative!

Hello, I'd like to experiment with installing Piwik (web analytic software, see www.piwik.org for details) on my localhost. If all looks good, I will eventually FTP the software to my host. During the Piwik installation process, the software performed a system check and informed me that: Piwik requires either the mysqli extension or both the PDO and pdo_mysql extensions. On a Windows server you can add the following lines to your php.ini: extension=php_mysqli.dll extension=php_pdo.dll extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll Found out that I did not have "php_pdo.dll" (I do have the other 2 dlls). So I tried downloading a copy of the dll (version 5.1.2.2) and added it to my extensions folder and modified the php.ini to include it. The software still gives me the same response. Is it the version of the file that I'm using? Also, I heard that this file is built into Uniform 5.3 (suspecting same for the version I'm using). Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Oh, I'm a newbie so please pardon my ignorance!
