im an extreme newbie with mysql. my site is hosted on my friends remote server, he created a database for me to use. i have a book that explains how to create a table with sql but i dont know what to do with it. can someone please help me? thanks
Why don't you start by reading some of the DataBase tutorials on this site?
Nick
because most of them are for people who own there own server, like i said, i dont. its on my friends and hes too busy to show me how
Shouldn't make a difference for most stuff if your friend has given you the right permissions to access your DB.
the problem is, is that he hasnt, it gave me an lp which i just found out isnt even correct. all i can do is access it and write to it.
What else do you need to do?
im going to have it so a user uploads there picture and it gets stored in the database and then people can view/rate it. i got the scripting done because i tested it on someone elses server and it werked, so once i create the table ill be fine.
Well, if the DataBase lets you write to it I don't see the problem, just create the table!
