Using this information I connect to my db.
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'xyz_me', 'This_That&TheOtherThing');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>
It works good. But I need to know how to store information in the db from a web page and also read it to show up on a web page.

I'm learning php db

Paul,

We're happy to see newcomers learning PHP and MySQL, but a forum is the worst place you could come to learn about broad subjects like that. You need to study tutorials that start at the beginning and work through the basics. Then when you get stuck and find that something doesn't work like you expect it to, then is when you should come to a forum like this and ask a very specific question. Good luck and have fun.
