Is this what you're looking for? http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/142/0.php yes actually that is some what help full. By the way, how do I know what my local host is if I'm using godaddy? I tried my domain name and that really isn't working. is the the dns thing?

Do you have any suggestions that are for the simple minded. I mean, I am familiar with form and with php but, what I know is limited to extremely basic...ness

Ok... Another Question Well not really a question, but... well yea... Um can anybody point me in the right direction as far as having a php page to add values to the table, maybe in conjunction with a form of sorts?

Wow!! I can't believe what a simple mistake I was making, I really appreciate it. Golly I feel so simple / special ed right now.

oh and this is the error I get with that sample code

This might be a little more helpful with making clear what I need help with, sorry I didn't do this sooner. when I click on control panel this is what it looks like then I click on data base then I click on mysql now the database I wan to use is city motors. there is currently nothing in it. I click on open manager and it prompts me for my pass word. afterward I get a window that looks like this Now when I'm in class and I want to make/add to a table I would go to something that looks like this Which Is what I get when I click on Query Window. ------------------- I think it's that I'm not coding correctly, but I'm not sure. Is it possible that I'm not going to the right place to make the first table for this database? This is an example of code that I use when I'm in class that works in class but not here. DROP TABLE CUSTOMERS; Create table Customers (Customer# NUMBER(4) PRIMARY KEY, LastName VARCHAR2(10), FirstName VARCHAR2(10), Address VARCHAR2(20), City VARCHAR2(12), State VARCHAR2(2), Zip VARCHAR2(5), Referred NUMBER(4)); INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS VALUES (1001, 'MORALES', 'BONITA', 'P.O. BOX 651', 'EASTPOINT', 'FL', '32328', NULL); Commit;

Hi all, I see this seems to be the place to live if you are just getting use to PHP and MySQL like my self. How ever, I have to admit I took on a project that I had no business doing. At first a friend asked my to make him a web page, I thought, "no big, deal. I've done it a thousand times before." However, I'm coming to find out that something he is asking me to do for him is including a database, which frankly I just can't do right now. I'm just now taking a SQL class, and I don't really know how I'm passing. I'm not even sure if it's SQL, I think it's Oracle, but I don't know the difference. I was just told that I had to take this class to get my AS so I got it online a turn in an assignment every week. But I digress The point I'm using godaddy as the server for this side (because the guy signed up for it before I had any say) and I've never used them before, let alone ever tried to use a data base on their server. So I want to do a data base, and I know the first thing to do is to create a table. I tried using the mysql query thing to drop a table but that gives me errors, and I tried to use the form that they have to create a table, but that gives me errors too. Which is freaking me out because I thought the whole thing was idiot proof. So... what should my first step in making my first table in godaddy be. Maybe I'm using the wrong syntax because I'm actually use to oracle or something? If anybody is familiar with godaddy please please help this noob.
