Hows it going, Im sort of new to the php and mysql scene. I was thinking about starting a project, to help me better understand the inards of working with php and mysql together. I have this idea of using an Away Message Logger, when people click on my away message on AIM, it will parse there screen name and put it in a db which then, a php script will login to the db and pull all the queries and put them in a table on another webpage. One problem Im having would be the link to put in my away message that they would click that would parse their screen name. Right now im thinking that this will work.
<A HREF="http://localhost/awaymessage.php?uid=1&u=%n" TARGET="_self"><b>Click Here to see my Away Message</b></A>
This link should then open awaymessage.php which will parse there screen name and put the time and date that they clicked the link in the db, so when I open stealthlog.php it will open connect to the db and put all the queries in table format.
This project may seem far fetched, but I posted it in the beginners section because im a sort of a beginner myself, and maybe someone out there can help me out alittle. The server-side code is probably the only trouble I will have with this. I apprectiate anyones help, if they even understand what im trying to do, thank you.
I have a design layout so far, but with no php code yet.

This is how the table should look like once it connects to the db and pulls everything from it.
Thanks
