    I was just wondering how to get a database working with my website on my college server which runs on linux

    1. Do I need to create the database myself in my public_html directory and if so, how so?

    2. Is there another area on a server where generally databases are held?

    3. How would i get a simple database to integrate simply with a php page.

    Thanks in advance

    The MySQL databases are never stored in public_html

    If you do not have 'root' or 'admin' access you will have to ask your systems administrator to create a MySQL database for you.

    You can usually administer MySQL related stuff using phpmyadmin or other tools

    hi,

    There is very good book about MySQL, "MySQL" by Paul DuBois. There is SOL about ; PHP, C, DBI Perl Programming; how to create data base connect to it and a few more. Is is simple and very helpful.
