Apathy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Im starting up a site using Xampp and not really sure how to make a data base for SQL for the PHP forums to run off of. the version xampp gave me was 1.4 SQL and im running on a vista machine... Other then that, I'm kinda stuck, so if someone could point me in the right direction with a link or anything to how to do a database just for the PHP forums, would be amazing. Thanks for any replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apathy Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 I was just screwing around and went into my PHP admin and tried to install it again, and used a test database and it worked somehow... No idea what the database is for, or what effects it will have.. If anyone knows, feel free to tell me, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschk Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Just to break down what XAMPP stands for, which should give you better clarity. Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl. Thus you have MySQL installed (not just SQL, as this is merely a standard for database systems). And I doubt very much you have version 1.4 installed, as it's more likely to be 4.0+, and most probably 5.0+ if you have a newer version of XAMPP. Your version of PHPMyAdmin however may well be version 1.4 . If you don't know how to use PHPMyAdmin I recommend checking out their documentation http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/docs.php, and the same for MySQL http://dev.mysql.com/doc/. Begin with basic syntax (CREATE, DELETE, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE) for MySQL and try it out using the PHPMyAdmin interface (as you're probably not familiar with command line options being a windows user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
