I need a really good toturial for installing php manually with mysql support. Any Suggestions. With that i could use a good one on how to setup mysql as well where i can have someone fill out a form on my website and then have it write to the database and then have a script that will update how many users have signed up. Any suggestions websites or like movie type toutrials would be great.

it's not that hard, suggest you google for some instructions or look on php.net.
Also the app your wanting is the kind of base functions php will do so I suggest get a book or again google for something

Define "installing php manually". Do you mean installing from source code? From RPM or other binary package?

And on what platform. The instructions for installing on Linux are different than the instructions for installing on Win32.

just go straight to the PHP website and look at the documentation

http://www.php.net/manual/en/

pretty straight forward

The problem is usually not PHP install but the
MySQL install can be tricky

on a windows platform you can try the allinone solution : wamp (apache,MySql,PHP)

on a Unix platform the xampp solution :

As recommended, I suggest you get the manuals from php.net. I have both running well on my windows machine.

Simply install the PHP package (5 or 4.x). Then install the MySQL package on top. You will need to change the php.ini file and remove the ';' from the mysql dll/library extention. This will allow PHP to call the PHP/mySQL drivers.

Again, these are all covered in the manual.
