What is PHPMyAdmin?
Is it necessary?
Do I upload it into my web space or use it from my computer like FTP?
So far I have enabled my database and disabled host access.
WHAT NOW?
(There is absolutely no help from my provider. I am with HOSTSAVE.com and for the money it's pretty good, but they have no help available for us newbies.)PHPMYADMIN is a program to use MySQL.
It is only necessary if you want to use MYSQL scripts.
Your webhost might have it? Are you hosting the server on your computer?
Good luck.Originally posted by xxnfg618xx

NO.
So, now what?phpmyadmin is a php based mysql database administration script.its not required,but it does make administrating databases easier.you would have to upload it to your webspace and configure it with your database username/password in order to properly use it.you could administrate your database from shell...but phpmyadmin is much easier to use.seem that your host have something to help you with your mysql database... (don't know if it's phpmyadmin or something similar)

I couldn't find anything there that had anything to do with PHP excepth that they now support PHP4.
I can't really complain about Hostsave though, it's only $8 a month.they won't teach you how to program in php!!I can't really complain about Hostsave though, it's only $8 a month.Hope it's not against the TOS but <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.glypto.com">www.glypto.com</a><!-- w --> gets you $5.95/month hosting and includes php/MySQL and - of course phpAdmin installed - other goodies.if they support php4 then you are already set.
to test a php script do this
info.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
add that to a file and call it info.php and upload it to your host. then run it. if you get out put then you are set.
but then you need to ask them if they support mysql and if they do have them setup a database. they have to do it as they are the ones that set the permissions for you. then you can run phpmyadmin to setup the tables and such.
does that help?Heck yes it helps! I haven't done anything with my site since back then. I just decided that I needed to do alot of reading before attempting it again. I really didn't mean to stir up a mess, but thank you Scoutt.no problem. I just didn't see this post. all is well.
