Hi!

I have a very basic question. I am interested in learning PHP and MySQL and trying to figure out how to get started. Currently I have experience building dynamic sites using ColdFusion and SQL, but I wanted to expand my abilities into other areas.

Specifically I need to figure out how to get a database started (or loaded) on to my remote web host. I know my remote web server has both PHP and MySQL, and I have written and sucessfully executed basic PHP scripts. If anyone can point me in the right direction in terms of a website or book that might explain what I need to do to get started I would greatly appreciate it! I have searched the net and not really found a clear solution. I am really looking for the nuts in bolts anwser, as in what spefically I need to do and what software if any is needed to do it.

Thanks for your help!

Guy
