mySQL and web sites - How do I access the databases from a web site?
Hi all,
I finally have sort of gotten the hang of making and working with databases in mySQL, but now how does one get the information online?
I have a database of my book collections and want to set up a page on my site where visitors can look at the whole collection, or search it by title or author, or pull up all the listings by catagory, but how do I tie this into the mySQl database?
I have read every mySQl tutorial I have found so far, but none even hint at this part of things.
Thanks in advance,

There is a book called "Core PHP Programming" by Atikison. This is an indespesible reference book. There are plenty of online references as well. Try deveshed.com or PHP.net and tery out their links. I think it is on PHP.net there is a projects page. One of the best clues I got in learning PHP was downloading scripts and studying them. MySQLcart and MySQLadmin are 2 great examples of how PHP and MySQL talk to each other. Using the code examples here, you will be able to understand how to hook into a db.
Hope I helped!?
