PostPosted: Tue Sep 09, 2003 10:16 am   Post subject: Setting Up A Database and Forms

I'm using IBServer which seems to be alright...I've been able to make a few *.php files and see what they look like. THe only question I have now, is how can I set-up and store information into my database? And also at the same time make a way so people can sign up for my game?.

Also, how can I make forms where the data then is placed into the necessary spots in the database?

looking at the php manual would probably be the best place to start Rolling Eyes

it's free and available at www.php.net

hmm, probably the easiest way to set up/manage your databases would be to get phpmyadmin ... www.phpmyadmin.net ... just unzip that into a subdir in your htdocs directory and then go to it with your browser

You have created a database, and now you need to create a table.

Such as 'users', or whatever you want to store.

Enter the name for the table, and the number of feilds in the table.

Follow the directions on phpmyadmin, or on google

Well.....its up to you...


If you were to make a table named users. You would need the following.

ID
Username
Password

Id I usually make INT(11), username varchar(255), password varchar(255)
