Simple PHP/MySQL Text Input & Display(Frustrated)

[BrightBri]

Sigh I'm never going go get the hang of programming, ever, but I keep trying. Anyway, are there any tutorials you could reccommend for someone who can't grasp all of this stuff? ...er any of this stuff, I have ADD I think. :eek:

This is what I would like to do, I want to make my own little site. I need a form where I insert a title and text and press a button and it posts this on the journal page. It seems so simple but I can't for the life of me learn the things in PHP or MySQL to do this.

Is there any hope?

If you send an email to me at [e-mail] I will create a small script to do this for you, explaining how it happens as it goes along so you can learn.

If however, you're looking to learn PHP in full, I've begun writing tutorials on thecomputersite.com. Below is the first tutorial, (The beginnings of PHP). If you have a read through you'll get an idea of inserting etc. Infact it's pretty much the script you need with a little tweaking in terms of the HTML.

You can also see the new tutorials I'm writing here:

You should see another go up tommorow evening on MySQL features in PHP which will relate more precisely to what you're looking to do.

You might also want to take a look at some other sites:
