i notice that you have that shadow around your image.  does this happen if you just work with a bare bones image that has no shadows or other manipulations done to it ahead of time?

a first step might be to bring up task manager and see if any application is using up your cpu.. or install a program like my Process Tamer to detect high cpu processes and reduce their cpu use.

you are going to need mysql (as well as php) for your development coding, but whether it has to be installed as a service is a different matter.

i'd say for getting started, just install both php and mysql as services.  then you can undo that later if you wish.

Databases hold "tables" which are like the tables in a spreadsheet, with columns (fields) and rows.

So you can actually put lots of different tables for different projects in the same single database.

But in general people tend to use separate databases for different large projects.  So a wordpress blog, or this forum, uses one database to store all of its many tables, and that database does not contain tables for other projects.

For small experimental projects, you would probably use one database for all of them, using different tables for your different experiments.

you wont be storing submitted files.  you will be storing HIGH SCORE DATA in a database.  And your desktop app won't be submitting FILES it will be submitting a simple http request with the users score submission data.

it's really much simpler than you are thinking, and it will all start to make sense as you learn about it.  but you'll need to stop thinking in terms of files moving around.

Or can the script run within a subidrectory of my own DC webspace?

You can just upload the php files and access and test them from the web, no special permissions or work needed behind the scenes for php.  you are going to be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to start writing server scripts that do interesting things.

The only thing you WILL have to eventually have us do is create the initial database for you on the server.  after that you will be able to access it and modify it from your scripts.

Playing an mp3 file puts almost no load on the hard disk or cpu.

There is absolutely no reason that you should have any trouble whatsoever playing an mp3 file on that computer with that hard disk, with built in sound on your motherboard or a sound card.

So don't even *think* about upgrading any hardware.


So that still leaves the question about what is going wrong for you.

I think it would help to just pick one test case and focus on that.  So take playing an mp3 file, using windows media player.

When you say it doesn't play the sound smoothly, what exactly do you mean?

Run don't walk to your nearest bookstore or online retailer and buy yourself a book on PHP/MYSQL.  One i like is http://www.amazon.co...t-4th/dp/0672329166/ but any one that grabs your attention will do.
