Alright, well. Let's face it, I can understand PHP, but MySQL seems like... Chinese to Japanese. Korean to Vietnamese. Totally different, but looks the same to some.

Anyway, I was wondering.. Are there any understandable tutorials out there that involve php? WebMonkey confuses me (@_@)

I'll be eternally in your debt.

Edit: It seems I can understand MySQL fairly okay, it's phpMyAdmin that confuses me.

Well i hope you can anser my question .... but thank you anyway for reading this.

MySQL is data-base query language. It is used for keeping informiations ;p.

Chat rooms are probably made in Java.

Go to the MySQL AB website and use their tutorials. MySQL is a database management system, as the last posters have said. Download one of their GUI clients, read their tutorials, and it is fairly easy to use. It is almost as easy as MS Access, albeit there are not any of Access's extra handholding features like QBE or screen builders. MySQL is pretty much a database only. Check out any basic database management text (get a recent one) and you will get the idea. SQL is not like other programming languages, nor is it a markup language like HTML or XML. Its function is to access databases, and it uses a totaly different syntax to do so. SQL code looks more like COBOL or a human language than like a programming language such as C++ or markup language like XML.

Your web application or other program can access MySQL databases through Java, C++, Perl, Python and many other languages. Just follow the instructions on MySQL AB's website. MySQL is free unless you intend to embed it in a proprietary (or closed-source) application.
