Hi!
I'm a novice to the art of web page interactivity but I have used ASP before. I'm currently working on a site that's hosted on a UNIX server. I want to start taking advantage of PHP and MySQL. I downloaded MySQL Admin but I don't know how to start a database. A few questions for you:
1. How do I start creating a database with MySQL?
2. Is there a WYSIWYG program that will write PHP without having to write the code manually?
3. Can someone link me to information that explains the process in simple terms?
My goal is to write a PHP program that captures visitor information (first name, last name, email address), places it in a database and allows me to design an email dialogue box that is a link from a button that will place updated email addresses fromt ath database for sending a message with possible attachments.
I know this is simple for you techies and I even understand the logic. I just don't know how to get started. The MySQL program is not friendly and I can't create tables and a simple database file that works without pain at this point.
Again, I want to create a database that's located in a specific directory (folder). The database is to be populated by web visitors who provide email and name info from a site. I want to be able to email these customers with a simple click of a button to send annoucements and files as required.
Thanks for your help and yes I can cut and paste code and understand the logic associated with placing it in HTML if you can just provide some help!
Thanks again!
