I am trying to add some php scripts to show some information to my students in my website which is in the university server. Now definitely this needs to be done using mysql to keep track of the database, but i am not so sure if its installed in the university server. Even if it is I don't know if I can access it or not. I can go and ask the web administrator on monday about it, but is there any other way to figure out if I can create a database in my server and use it without having to wait till monday. Please help. ???
