I actually want to learn how to set PHP environment in bits and pieces

Shreyas

The Java code which talks to the DB has a different username and password

here. Damn me!

I realize that you have used EasyPHP. For others wanting to do this, Bitnami(http://bitnami.org/) has a WAMP stack too. What's nice is if you want to add Postgre, there's a module that installs into the stack too. There are other modules/apps that also integrate into your WAMP stack, so you don't have to have separate apache servers running all those different apps.

You can add extra users to the MySQL service, and allow them specific
permissions to a specific database. I'm not sure the best way to do that
though on EasyPHP, as I've only ever gone that deep with MySQL on a
Linux system, which is more command line driven rather than graphical
like Windows.
