How to create store data into database, and retrieve it.

[bgbs]

Hi, I never done something like this, therefore I'm looking for some information, maybe a tutorial how to create a simple store and retrieve database script.

Basically I would need to design a form to store content into database. I need to store simple content -- category, title, description, and author.  I would need to create database tables, and retrieve that data.

 

Any help on this subject is appreciative.

 

Thanks

The first thing you should do is learn proper, normalized database design, along with basic query syntax. Once you have a good idea of how that works, you can move on to implementing it in conjunction with PHP.

My advice is to find a simple script that uses Mysql and just tinker with it. Thats how I learned. It's pretty simple after you get the hang of it.

Although that's assuming you have a background in php. If you are not even familiar with the PHP language then I would recommend you learn the basics at the very least such as variable assigning, loops, arrays, etc. Then move onto SQL query syntax. Good luck to ya and if you have any other questions feel free to ask
