Makeshift67 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 On my website, i currently use php to write comments to a file, and use include to apply them to the comment page.. my friend told me it would be a lot smarter to do it though a database, but I have no idea how to do it/where to start. If someone could help me out/give me a site that can walk me through or has a downloadable script i can use.. the code would need to be able to make each table after the user posts the comment, and i want the comments to display newest to oldest.. thanks.

trq Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Theres a link in my signature to a free book (hudzilla) about learning php. this book contains an entire chapter on working with databases and php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellis95 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I highly recommend "Web Database Applications with PHP and MySQL" from O'Reilly. It is very thorough for getting started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a book, you read it like a book, start at the start and finish at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
