Hi,

I am trying to learn to make and use MySQL databases. I have a basic understanding of PHP from w3schools.com however the explanations of MySQL don't seem to be very useful.

Where and how do I start a basic client login type of database?

I have a fair understanding of databases (MS Access) but just have never built one on the web and would like to learn how.

Any good suggestions?

Thanks,

Jason

First you would need to create a database in cpanel and create a user then add the user to the database you then either write scripts to create tables in your database or use phpmyadmin to to it online phpmyadmin is a good choice.

If you want to script the tables you first need to connect to the database I have a tutorials on connecting to a database: http://www.webguideuk.com/php/connecting-to-a-database and another one on creating a table in your database http://www.webguideuk.com/php/creating-a-table-within-a-database

Also I have a login tutorial: http://www.webguideuk.com/php/login-script-with-validation

hope they help.

Nutty coder has given ya some good links.
If you have time, you can go to your local library and check out books on MySQL. They have tons and they are extremely helpful.
If you prefer to read on your computer, there are tons of MySQL ebooks online for free.
