I have looked a lot and would like to know how to create a page that uses a MySQL database.
The following is just an example of php. I don't really know php syntax other than echo and $_GET('test').
I would like to:
code:
$_GET('ID')
if ID = "create" {
if the table "userinfo" not exists {
create the table "userinfo"
}
$_GET('USER')
$_GET('PASS')
create a new item in the table "userinfo"
put USER and PASS into the table "userinfo"
}
elsif ID = "login"{
if the table "userinfo" not exists {
echo "Invalid"
stop the program
}
$_GET('USER')
$_GET('PASS')
validate USER and PASS
if valid {
echo "VALID"
}
else {
echo "Invalid"
}
}
else {
echo "Invalid"
}
You get the point.
Don't use $_POST(''). the program that i want to use with it doesn't support POST only GET.
DON'T just give me the code but give me the code. break it up so i can learn it.
You can pretty much say I'm a NOOB when it comes to PHP
I would look up how to do this but it is very hard to find how to do it with examples and this simple.
I learn best with examples. Thats how I learned HTML

Examples eh? You have inspired me to repost my (very basic) PHP & MySQL tutorial. You can find it here.

Yes that helped for the connecting part. I want to know how to add/remove/edit/read information in the database.

To add some values in mysql base use query
$query = "INSERT INTO some_table (username, password) VALUES ('agnivohneb', 'entered_password')";
to remove
$query = "DELETE FROM some_table WHERE username='agnivohneb' ";
to edit
$query = "UPDATE some_table SET password = 'newpass' WHERE username = 'agnivohneb'";
to read
$query = "SELECT username FROM some_table WHERE id = 1;
