Im a newbie and need some pointers
I recently started a website up (tho its still mainly in the construction stages and not fully up n running). Ive inititially created a startup database, but now for the hard part. Ill need to link various pages on my site to the database and i need some simple pointers about wot i need to consider when it comes to writing up the php code to link it all together. What should i consider when it comes to, ive racked my brains over this cos im very inexperienced with php code, would it be better to find code snippets from a site and change it to work with my site or should i write it from scratch? I did ask in another forum post on here about getting a lot of help but i feel that is a bit much to ask for, I know i could download scripts and use those for my project but, if i come across any hurdles i would be lost as to sorting them out, does anyone know where i could go to and find out how to do this totally from scratch. Ive got an idea in my head how i want it to work, itll be like any other site, a user registers their info, this info is inserted to the database as a new entry; so when they revisit its just a simple login procedure (i do have a login script on the home page but i cant even get that to work properly). Damn ppl reading this must be thinking what a sad muppet...BUT...if theres anyone out there who knows a site i can go to to find out how to do this totally then be my guest and let me know
