MySQL and PHP connect

[Treize13]

I already created MySQL User and Password database in my hosting control
panel and connection strings code appears there. Before I will set up
testing server in site definition, I understand I have to make sure create a
database and add the tables via phpMyAdmin first. I am still not understand
the table running on localhost. For sample: Field, type of varchar, etc
etc...lenght/values, attributes, null, defaults, ectra, blah blah...it is
way over my head. I have DWMX with XP Pro...and I need to connect MYSQL and
PHP database works in localhost for to build the login page only.

Thanks.

So where or what exactly is your problem?

If you don't understand the SQL syntax how to create tables than the
MySQL manual might help. If you have connection problems it might be a
PHP issue or missing privileges to access the server.

If you wanna build a login system I strongly recommend that you
understand what you're doing! Just click-and-play without knowing
what's going on won't take you any further and may raise security
problems.

I suggest you goto [url]http://www.mysql.com/[/url] and then goto documentations and then follow up on the basics. You can also goto [url]http://www.w3schools.com/[/url]. They have a few very nice tutorials about SQL. After those, you will have a much clearer understanding of MySQL & PHP.
