How do you get this MySQL thing to work with PHP

I have done SQL before (Oracle SQL and MySQL) and, after having someone help me set it up, was able to get PHP with HeidiSQL. However, I no longer know how to set it up as it's been some time and the installations were lost when the hard drive crashed.

I tried to look on the W3 school site and hoped it would tell me where to go, and it send me to this site (that had a lot of not-free stuff despite it saying it would take me to a place where I could get something that would work for free). I did find a free thing called MySQL Installer and got part of it set up. (I don't think I have the database thing set up yet. I don't have passwords for it.)


I just have PHP enabled somehow only through the ineptpub/wwwroot folder. (And it's read only, meaning I always have to copy stuff to there and can't code there directly.) I have tried the Apache stuff, but it never seemed to quite work. (I got the Apache stuff working, but never could get it to work with the PHP stuff.)


I am not really familiar with this new MySQL Installer thing and am wondering how I can connect to it from a PHP file. Again, I have used PHP code that was able to access a database from HeidiSQL, so coding is not the problem.

The issue is getting all these things to find each other.
