database help

i need help in creating a database for my site at http://www.eqkac.com/legatumdraconis/members.htm . If anybody can help me please post, and i will give further info.

Ask your web space providor if they have a database facility. If they support PHP then they most probably do.

yes my hoster provides php4

Do they have database facilities though? If so what kind of database is it and how can it be accessed through PHP.

um, im guessing your talking about cgi-bin, mysql, ssl....all that is on hoster.

If you do have server side database facilities you need to find out the following from your web host:

The type of database: e.g mysql, oracle
The database host: e.g db.datasite.com

And how to connect to the database through PHP. PHP has an extensive library of functions designed to work with mysql.

Hope this helps
