I'm a newbie to php3/mysql. I'm using win95/Xitami/php3/mysql locally only.
Works great! However, I'm wondering why when I exececute the following:
c:\mysql\bin\telnet localhost 3306
I get a telnet window, it connects to mysqld but with some garbled
characters at the end of the version message, and when I hit ENTER, I loose
the connection with the error message: Bad Handshake. Should I not be able
to talk to mysqld via a telnet session, even locally?

Hi Duke
You can't telnet directly into the mysql server :)
This is because telnet dosn't understand the mysql protocol.
(Of course YOU could type in the necessary bytes into telnet, but that's a
mess.)
You can use the mysql clients for win32.
There is a commandline tool called "mysql" in C:\mysql\bin directory.
Start it and issue mysql SQL commands seperated by ';' and you get the results.
