Hi kamlesh, very good option..

PHP comes with inbuilt support to MySQL.

For apche you need to configure it separately for PHP.

Just check the licenses of MySQL, I'm not very sure whether you can use it for commercial purposes..

have fun..

Dear All,

I am a computer engineer working as network consultant based in Mumbai.

Recently, my school administrators, have asked me to propose a solution for automating the entire "student progress report" creation & maintenance setup.

I could have gone with "Win2K-SQL 2K-VB" plateform, But I also want to explore the possibility in Linux based solution as essentially it will be free for school.

I am looking at LAMP architecture... Linux + Apache + MySQL + (Perl/PHP/Python)

Am I thinking right? Please guide me

Regards, Kamlesh Parmar
