Ground Up

This is my site http://platinum-cube.com.

I want to start adding MySQL databases with php in it.  But I have no clue how to do that.  There are tutorials to do this stuff at 3dbuzz.com but those mysql tutorials are so old.  There any place around here that can teach me this stuff using the newest form of phpMyAdmin (using this with php of course) or something?  And the forum search didn't help with this at all.

if you are just starting, there are tutorials on this site. Also phpclasses.org is a good place to get classes to start piecing things together. I would also say go to pear.php.net and get a DB class like MDB2 - use that - makes your life a lot easier - especially if you do all your connection stuff in a seperate include.

Also, go to php.net - usually if you need anything, you can usually find the related functions. Then scroll down and look at the comments - there are always good code clips there.

between all these places there is plenty to learn by example and will save you a ton of time as well.

Also, you may want to look at smarty.php.net - again will save you a ton because it will make your code cleaner

Hmm, none of those sites seem to start anywhere, they usually just have references, unless there's something I'm not seeing.  Better yet, is there a place that has video tutorials?  (Besides 3dBuzz because their's are old.)
