Creating my mySQL database
|
|
|
|
|
i am currently enrolled in webhost4life's Basic Plan, which also provides a free mysql database. my question is how do i create the database or connect to it? on the control panel's Database page, i think i can just type in the same username and password i used when i logged in for the database id and database password fields, a good name for my database name and perhaps another good name for the ODBC/DSN name. But what do i enter in the MySQL Server IP
Address? Sorry for the lot of questions. I'm just a newbie to these.

A good name for your database would be something pertaining to the data you want to store, such as addresses, birthdays, URLs, etc.
To build a mysql database, login to webhost4life, click on database, then MySQLAdmin. You can build one there, but there's more to it, such as how many fields of data, what type of data... I'd recommend a good PHP/MySQL book that shows you how to build a simple application. You can also find info online by searching "mysql" and "php". You must have some way, such as php to handle data, if you're going to automate anything.
Also notice the version of PHP and MySQL you are using, when you buy books, etc.
