PHP Database Installation Scripts
Posted: Thu Jan 21, 2010 1:16 pm
Hi guys,
I was wondering how would I go about approaching writing a PHP install script, if you don't know what I mean, think phpBB. When you download the source and upload to the internet, you'd run the install file, and enter all your details for the mySQL table, create the first administrator etc... how do you go about writing these files in PHP?
Ones that create databases on your server basically.. I can't get my head round it. But I'm sure it's pretty straight forward!
Any ideas?
