Quick answer needed

Hi Guys

I need a bit of help. My project is due in at the weekend and I need to get a simple database to connect to my website using PHP and MySQL.

I have already created the database and html page. The only fields in the table are account name and PIN code.

I just need to know the php code to put into the html page that will access the database and authenticate the account number and PIN code once it is entered.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated as my project is due in two days.

Cheers😃

Kinda sounds like the point of doing the project. I'm not one to just give out code. What are you stuck on?

Well the project is actually the report accompanying the website. But anyway...

I am stuck on how the php actually works. I am complete novice. I understand I have to include the php code in my html page and then save it as .php.

I know I have to firstly connect to the database. then point from the php page to the database and check the relevant fields are correct (i.e account name and PIN code)

I know its only a couple of lines of code saying: "check if the account reference matches the PIN code"

How do i do this?

Thanks a lot this will really help 😃

Is everyone else using PHP? If so, I would think your class would have covered this (what is your class using?).

I'd say start out at one step at a time - just like how you listed the steps. So, first, connect to the database. Don't move on until you know that part is working. Then move on to the next step.

squint I too feel like this is sort of like "do my project PLEEEEASE."

I'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction though... other than that, start making some decent attempts, and if you still are stuck, post some PHP code that you've worked on, and we can go from there.
