Here's a newbie question:
I know how to create a new database using WinMySQL admin (got Apache running on Win2k, got PHP4 running on Apache, and installed mySQL windows version).
Now how do I make tables in that database? How do I specify how many records per table? How do I specify how many fields per record?
The author of this beginner's book I bought assumed we knew how to do this - and jumped right into using PHP to connect to an SQL database without teaching us how to set it up first. (Not to mention she is very rude in answering politely asked questions: <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thickbook.com">www.thickbook.com</a><!-- w -->, PHP Essentials. Don't buy it.)
Please advise!
*frantic, spastic, and tired
