Can someone really explain to me the format or layout on how to call or save mysql datbase from PHP programs?

Question

Sample layout / diagram and Program please... Tnx

Answer 1

There is no way to "save a database". You only send queries to it. Some are called SELECT queries and they retrieve data from the database. Others are called INSERT queries and UPDATE queries; they write data to the database.

A complete example can be found in the PHP Manual:

http://www.php.net/mysql

(Scroll down to a code sample titled Example 1.)

Answer 2

well in php you have to start by having a server with mysql already up then you have to have one of each of these functions in tags

//to connect
mysql_connect(servername,username,password);

//to create a databse
mysql_query('CREATE DATABASE database_name');

//to insert into a table
mysql_query('INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (value1, value2)');

//and to select from a table
mysql_query('SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name');
