AOL Speak, leet speak and other abbreviated wording can confuse those that are trying to help you (or those that you are trying to help). Please keep in mind that there are many people from many countries that use our forums to read, post and learn. They do not always speak English as well as some of us, nor do they know these aberrant abbreviations. Therefore, use as few abbreviations as possible, especially when using such simple words.

Some examples of what not to do are ne1, any1 (anyone); u (you); ur (your or you're); 2 (to too); prolly (probably); afaik (as far as I know); etc.

You are asking some fundamental questions that go far beyond what this (or any) forum is able to answer. When you first get started learning database programming, you have to start by learning the underlying technologies. Let me try to give you some suggestions for how to begin.

I'll start by asking you to confirm that you have mssql installed. The combination of mssql, php and apache is just a bit unusual (not that it can't work, but it's uncommon). Is it possible that you're talking about MySQL??

Next, have you done any programming in other languages? In case your answer is No, the very first thing you absolutely must do is study Beginning Programming. PHP is one of the easier languages to learn, but if you don't understand branching and looping and variables and such, you won't get anywhere. The strongest advice that I can give you is, don't start by downloading someone else's script and see if you can just tinker with parts of it until it works. First, learn some fundamentals. Then your further learning will go much faster and easier. Believe me!

My first choice would be to take a class at a community college or someplace, if that's available to you. If not, you can get started with online tutorials, and later, when you can at least speak the language of the technologies that you have questions about, forums can be very helpful. You will need to work through several different tutorials, at a minimum:
HTML
PHP
SQL
Database (mssql or MySQL)
Web server (Apache)

You can find beginning tutorials on all these at http://w3schools.com/

There are many others, some better, some not. Google words like: tutorial php

Good luck with your studies.
