Can someone tell me what to do with MYSQL, please?

Answer 1

Ah ha. Yes you would want to use MYSQL if you were an expert and technically oriented, but believe me, it's not worth learning if you're not planning a web application, or very serious about web programming and design. MYSQL is a type of database that permanently stores data that your server can access at anytime, and is exceptionally more efficient and secure than storing this information on a file on the server. So if you were storing account information, each part would be stored in a designated column in a particular table in the database.



Quick answer: You are looking for a content management system or a CMS. Thousands of programmers have come together to solve a recurring problem that most website owners have. That is a need for a fully functioning website that has automated scripts for user account management, theme engines, and easy content control. Try WordPress if you're just starting out, and if you know a bit about web programming and HTML, try Drupal. You'll be impressed with WordPress if you use it properly.



Best of all, WordPress and Drupal are both free.



However, if you're going to design an application or something very unique, you'll need to do some programming. There are many languages you can program in, such as PHP, Javascript, Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, and more.



Trust me, it's not worth the "blood, sweat and tears" of learning to program with MYSQL, unless you are a gifted programmer. I know MYSQL fairly well and can develop with it but I can tell you you're much better off with a CMS. If you must use MYSQL and you don't know it you can hire someone on scriptlance.com to do it for a few hundred dollars.

You can't do that with HTML, HTML is a mark up language which basically means it is for how a website is displayed and mapped out.

You need to know a server side scripting language to achieve something like that. You will need to know a lot before attempting such a thing and especially about PHP, mysql security when it comes to user data, or any data at all really, but if you're happy to learn then I would recommened PHP and you'll find loads of tutorials online and video tutorials on youtube.

1. Use any other service but GoDaddy: their reputation is one of the worst. Choose a web hosting service not-too-big-not-too-small: you get a better service for a reasonnable price.

Google "web hosting services" and go through the offers.

You need a simple package, shared server, domain registration/transfer, and a LAMP type server (NOT Window!!!)

Shoose a package that is less than $50/year: that is a good starter.

A Lamp server will give you php and mysql for free.

2. Download the free "Login script" from http://web2coders.com

It will give you all you need for a starter, without the hassle of CSS and formating you don't want!

Answer 4

You cannot use html for this perpose, it is used for designing only. You should look into a server side language like python,ruby,asp.net and C# or php...



You first need to connect to mysql then create table accounts ,and then insert your newly created account in mysql database

Answer 5

Add a new user account to the website by going to the site administration page and select the "Manage Users" menu option.

Answer 6

You cannot make usernames in HTML, however, you can code one in ASP or PHP using a database such as mySQL. The database is sort of requirement and you use ASP or PHP to code along side mySQL. You can learn more at w3schools.org

setup a wordpress blog, this will use MySql with HTML and PHP only takes a few minutes, then you can kind of reverse engineer it if you really want to see how it works.

Answer 8

see use form method in html to transfer the things to a php file... then the user's data would me stored in mysql table... the my sql table would be linked to your php file..... php helps to establish a link between my sql where you would store the user details and HTML where you would design the layout...
