What kind of database are you connecting to?

I have used PHP & MySQL database before and I used this website:
http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/connect-to-mysql-using-php.php

Which has plenty of useful tutorials, I'm no expert at PHP but if you give it a shot and post your results we will try help you out. :)

This is going to be very complicated for someone who doesn't know php. Creating a connection to the database is fairly simple, but creating a login system that allows certain users to only see certain items in the database can get very complicated.

In order to create a connection to your database via php, you need to know four things:


Location of the database ('localhost' is common for most servers)
User/Login name for the database
Password for the database
The database name


Once you know those pieces of information you can write some simple php code like this:


<?php

$db = mysql_connect('database location','user/login name','password') or die('Unable to connect');
mysql_select_db('database name',$db) or die('Unable to select database');

?>


Or just check out the link that Josh listed.

and to make it easier,

Put that code into a file called, config.php

and then use this code to make it appear on all pages,<?php include ("config.php") ?>
