please can you provide idiot-proof step by step information about how set up a MySQL database on my pc which is also accessible from afar?

This could also work for others as a tutorial(and probably broaden our community).

I already have problem downloading the proper files from sunmicro nor do I know what to do with them as they are no exe or batch files.

function db_connect() {
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password", );
if(!mysql_select_db("database"))
   {
      return false;
   } else {
      return $connect;
   }
}

just use this simple code:

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to MySQL<br />";
mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error());
echo "Connected to Database";
?>
