Question

I’m working on a website, where I want to store some user inputs, in a mySQL database.

I’ve searched all over, but everyone who writes about a simple example, never showns the complete source code.

I’m totally new to PHP and mySQL, so I really need it to be dead simple… 🙂

Thank you in advance…

First, you will need to call mysql_connect() to connect to your database which I assume exists. You can use the sample code below:

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');

Then you will need to select a database using mysql_select_db():

$db = mysql_select_db('db');

Now it’s time for a mysql_query()! You will need to know the language SQL to do more advanced queries.

mysql_query('INSERT INTO users (username, password, email) VALUES ("john", "passwd", "[e-mail]")', $link);

Good luck!
