Post by Matr1x »

I am totaly new at PHP and MySQL. The website I have gotten has a MySQL database and im not sure how to use it. They allow a link to it, and it says something like
------------------------------------------
Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.2.2
MySQL 3.23.51-log running on localhost as whatever@localhost
phpMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin documentation
Official phpMyAdmin Homepage
Sourceforge phpMyAdmin Download Page
[ChangeLog] [CVS] [Lists]
------------------------------------------

How do you add things into here, or view it? Thanks.

You should have a look at some tutorials. PHPComplete is a good place to start. The 'link' to the database that you're talking about is a piece of software called phpMyAdmin which is an interface to the MySQL database that you access through a browser. Have a look at http://www.phpcomplete.com/content.php?id=10 for more information.
