Linking Website to MySQL database
I am currently trying to complete part of my A-level coursework but am stuck.
i am creating a website for a restaurant on which customers can submit information to do with four areas:
---------------------
Bookings
Comments
Job Applications
Pre-order
----------------------
i have used access alot in the past and had no problems creating a running model of my final database.
i have built my website and created the four tables in the alloted MySQL area that came with my website package.
BIG QUESTION:
how do i create the interface for people to submit data and for it to be sent to my database?
i am a complete beginner to MySQL using it for the first time this week so im not sure what i need to do in the slightest to solve this issue
-------------
any help or advice would be VERY VERY gratefull
I think that most here would agree that...
PHP is definitly easier to use for beginners.
Personally I always forgot the important thing in Perl/CGI, the content-type header.
Anyway, PHP can also be used with great HTML dev tools like Dreamweaver because PHP is an interpreted language that that uses inline tags to differentiate between PHP code and plain HTML.
PHP files can really be a simple HTML file developed in ANY html designer. Then add the PHP tags and functions in.
