iv just finishing some of my tinkering about with php and mysql queries :banana:

there only simple things like selecting all from a table and also selecting particualer names from a table,

feel that iv hit another milestone in learning about networks and servers

so if you like to see the fruits of my labour check out my university site @

Woot woot for being happy! I'm having a pretty good day myself. :)

I've also feel like I've hit a milestone, although its not computer related. I think its related to the snow going away mostly lol

So what exactly is php and mysql? Is it like some form of coding for websites or something?

[si-skyline]

lol.. i like snow.. of course i dont see much xD

php (php hypertext preprocessor) is sorta like html whats used to code webpages, but php can do more because its dynmaic and is also done at the sever end and not at the users computer like html is.

and sql (structured query language) is to do with databases and querying them. if you look on my page you can see query used: and says what the search peramiters are..

but having html, php and mysql are all eliments of showing you dynamic sites.. now most common for e-sales shops.

if you read carefully the first is selecting everying(*) from my table called personnal and then showing it on the page..

as for the second its selecting everything(*) from the same table personnal WHERE the entires in name is SIMON or SAM and then show it on the page. and thats why the other table has only 2 reasults conpaired to the first.

I find building/designing databases interesting and challenging. I've been working on a database application using sqlite (http://www.sqlite.org/) for a while, and it feels so good when a complicated query finally works after many failures. It can get frustrating at times but keep at it, the hard work will pay off.
