I do have MySQL installed and php via WinLAMP, but don't know much about the 2. To better understand and further my knowledge I need to familiarize myself with them in a way that makes sense to me.
What I did was create a basic html website using publisher and on the main page I want to include a search box so if I am searching for say an mp3, document, etc. sql will query the results... hmmm maybe that still don't make sense.
Ok I guess to best describe it will say I created an html page sayin "Welcome To My Site".
The only thing on the page is a search box and if I type in say *.mp3, pop, .doc, etc. it will search an sql database and return results.
I can probably figure out how to create a database, but to tie that in with the html and have the main page display results via html or php is where I'm most stuck.
Oh, thanks for the informative and quick reply, however I've done a course over SQL and am a bit familiar with the commands, but being that I've never worked with database management before it doesn't really make sense to me, kinda like I know what I'm doing, but I don't know what I'm doing... (confused) hope this makes better sense now...
