database

[abectech]

I work for a large development firm however I am a graphic designer who is trying to learn more about the programming aspect of web design. I am trying to use my basic PHP skills to interface with a database. Can anyone help me understand the process or suggest a good resource for learning to do this sticking to the open programs etc.

No problem!
It covers the setup of PHP/MySQL, and the commands
Create
Drop
Insert
Delete
Update
and how to use them in PHP.

hi abectech...

and just so you know...
there is a dedicated PHP forum here...
so it would probably be a benefit to you to post your PHP questions there (where they can be addressed by those most able to help you) :)

EDIT:
No offense to Brendan... of course :)

ANOTHER EDIT:
Never mind.... I see that you have already posted this question in the PHP forum as well
