PHP Question

[evilghost]

Holy crap you all scare me! LOL I've been wanting to add a forum to my site for years now, but the whole PHP MySQL thing scares me and I haven't the slightest idea about it. If someone would like to help me...evilghost...I would really appreciate it! :D Sorry about the hijack.

I'd love to help. PM me with details/info when you get ready.

Most hosting providers should also provide optional pre-scripted php/mysql forums for your site.

how does phpmyadmin prevent others from accessing it?

cant they just access the phpmyadmin and mess with the database? or is there a login or something? :confused:

ive been lookin into it. it's pretty powerful and functional. i like it.

old versions have no logins but the latest versions have a login :)


Slippe, go out and buy a Apache/PHP/MySQL book and just start reading. if you have any program experience (C, C++, even VB) it will be extremely easy

he doesnt even need to do that. there is so many tutorials out there on the web to setup and configure apache/mysql/php its not funny

yes, ive been using this as well:

also, the webspace i have says it supports phpMyAdmin. im guessing i probably still need to install it. is installation on a remote server easy? in other words, how difficult is the program to configure?

its very easy. edit the config file and enter in your mysql details. upload all the phpmyadmin files. and your all set.

Most web hosting providers which support Linux hosting should also include phpMyAdmin by default. You should contact your hosting provider and see how you can access phpMyAdmin for your hosted site. Sometimes, phpMyadmin/mysql is located/installed on a different server from the server hosting your site(scripts).

If they are using CPanel (Cpanel > Others), there is usually a seperate page exclusively for creating/deleting databases and users; and phpMyAdmin basically for everything else. Well, thats how it was with my last two hosting services.
