Database problem

Post by ste_512 »

Hi all,

Can anyone help? This is a simple one :-) I have successfully created a database using phpmyadmin. I'm having problems understanding what to do next. Do I have to export it to my website file? Can I test it using localhost? and when I FTP it my host what do include. It's probably not rocket science but it's something I'm struggling with. What I want to do is basically. Create a database and display the information on webpage.

Thanks.
Ste

Did you install PHPMyAdmin on your server, or on your localhost? No, you don't transfer it with FTP (though if it has a lot of data you might). I don't understand what you mean by "exporting it to your website file". If you already made the database, all you have to do is access the data with the PHP MySQL functions.
