Help needed by newbie

1) Which is the best ng?



alt.comp.lang.php


alt.php


alt.php.sql


comp.lang.php



or can you suggest a good web forum?



2) My PHP installation is not properly installed. I have it


running under Win XP SP2 using IIS. When the computer first


boots I get an error:



        PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library


        './php_mysql.dll' - The specified file could not 


        be found.



Can I just find that file 'php_mysql.dll' and copy it to c:\php?


Does it need to be regestered as well?



3) Running http://localhost/phpinfo.php indicates that I am


running PHP 5.0.4



Should I upgrade to a more recent version and will that upgrade


sort out the missing php_mysql.dll file?



Is it sensible to continue using PHP with windows - given that


any sites I eventually write will be hosted under


linux/apache/mySQL?  In other words should I be developing under


Linux instead of Windows?
