Question

I have a PHP script designed to answer a users question. Currently I use arrays to provide the programmed questions and then echo the answer for that question. Instead, I want the script to search a MySQL database for questions and their answer. How can I do this in PHP?

I hope you can understand my question.

Here is my PHP code:

<?php

if(stripos($_GET['q'],'what is my ip')===0){
    echo "Your IP address is <b>{$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}</b>";
}

?>

<form method='get' action=''>
<input type='text' name='q'>
<input type='submit'>
</form>

Best bet is start here and learn how to connect to a mysql database and execute queries against it. Of course you will need to create the database, tables and populate the data, before you can retrieve anything.
