Re: [PHP3] creating files with php3 From: Chad Cunningham (ccunning <email protected>)

Yes, phpinfo will tell you what db support is there. Tutorials depend on what db you use.
MySQL is the most common used with php, but there are plenty more and are all a bit
different. But SQL is fairly consistent, being a standard and all. The MySQL docs are
great, but you kinda have to know what you're looking for. Check out
http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Node/9672/sqltut.html for a pretty good intro
tutorial. Devshed has some nice intro material on MySQL that's not too in depth, but good
for getting your feet wet - http://www.devshed.com/resource/advanced/mysql/index.html.
And if your isp doesn't have db support, there's a list of others to check out at
http://phphosts.easydns.com/
