php help

[amo]

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.

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😃

If I were you I would start at:

www.php.net

This is the php manual. Should help. Not to be rude, but from what I can tell you are asking someone to the code for you. That isn't what we are here for, we are here to help people have gotten stuck on something or have a problem with something. If this is not how you meant it I am sorry for biting your head off! 🙂

Good luck.

Stick to one, maybe?

Don't crosspost, or worse, shotgun.
