Beginners MySQL
beherenow_uk (30 points) | Thu, 2006-07-06 00:06Hi,
I have to admit i'm stupid when it comes to MySQL & Databases. I have built a couple of client editable sites now, but they use flat files. I want to learn how to use databases...
SO, does anyone know where I can get hold of step-by-step info on where to get a Mysql database and how to set it up?
Anything would be greatly appreciated, because i'm tired of being stupid.
Thanks!

You can go through the tutorials and walkthroughs at http://w3schools.com to get a basic start. There are also a lot of good links at http://hotscripts.com. but the best place o get any infomation on MySQL coding would be at http://dev.mysql.com.
Life's too short to sleep.
Thanks v much dude, I will check them out.

When you do a dynamic site, you will mostly use content management systems i presume. If so, you will only need to create the database and than the cms will fill it up and use it without the need for you to interrupt or even understand what is happening under the hood.

Go to Sitepoint and get this book. http://www.sitepoint.com/books/phpmysql1/
For the beginner, it's great and walks you thru everything.
If you're using PHP and MySQL together it might be worth while using a framework to keep things a little simpler. I've started using Seagull but there are lots of good ones to consider. Here's my top 5:
1. Pear - supported to an extent by the PHP work group
2. CakePHP - Loosely based on Ruby on Rails
3. PHP on TRAX - also a Rails clone
4. Zoop - Ajax built in as well as an easy framework to learn
5. Seagull - My preffered choice as it comes with PEAR installed, pre made modules for most uses and has a useable GUI interface for managing projects
