Apache, MySQL, PHP

I am having a very tough time getting those three to play nicely together.  I am considering trying to find a tech platform (like Nusphere) to run it all.  All I am trying to do is learn PHP!!!  I have already learned that in order to get PHP 5 to install in Vista, you need to disable User Account Control in Vista.  I was running all installs as an administrator but it could not complete.  So I turned UAC off and it worked just fine.  Weird!  

I have been reading that PHP config does not default to use MySQL anymore.  What a bummer...that always made the installs really quick.  Now I actually have to learn how to make it all work together!  Dang it. :P

Wish me luck getting everything going...
