I suppose you want to install PHP/MySQL and Apache?
If i am right, the easiest way is to visit: http://www.apachefriends.org |

Well in the MySQL members system tutorials it says SQL Queries, where do I type them in and how do I make sure everything works, I'm completely new to MySQL.

I have no idea what pretty much all of what you said meant... perhaps I'll search for a step by step tutorial on google, maybe I could find a nice site that'll suit my needs. Thanks anyways.

what i meant was that if the mysql server was on a remote server then you can use PHP to connect to it and execute queries. but if it is hosted on a local server and you have access to it then you can just type the query in the shell(interpreter) of the server.

I'm using a trap17 host if that helps? Because I don't really know about servers and all of that stuff. I just know html and very little php.
So, if you're using trap17 too, and are good at this sort of thing please help me! I really am in need of it. |

I really am in need of it. since you are hosted on trap17, just use PHP to execute your MySQL queries. please try searching the forum for tutorials first. if there are none, just reply here and i will help you. |
