[PHP-DB] How do I backup my MySQL database? asks a Newbie.
*** NEWBIE ALERT! *** I am only new at this, but I have discovered one thing: I love php and mysql! I now have a couple of tables of information in a MySQL database. The site is run by my ISP so I don't have control of the server. My question is: how do I via php/mysql make a backup of the entire database so that I can restore it again should the worst happen and the server goes down? I would really appreciate your comments on this!

[PHP-DB] mysql/php select using date in where clause
***NEWBIE ALERT*** (I am only very new at this) PHP and MySQL OK - I have a table with data and one of the fields is a Date field.

[PHP-DB] file name extentions
Hi there, Currently my ISP has PHP 3 installed and to run php scripts I have to save the file as name.php3 I expect to install my own server and php4 in the foreseeable future - how can I save the files as .php so that they are upwardly compatible?

[PHP-DB] SSI and PHP?
Hi there, Can anyone tell me if it is possible to combine Server Side Includes with PHP? If not, is there a work around? Please cc your comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would like everyone who commented on my queries the last couple of days. I went from not knowing a single thing about PHP and MySQL to a day later having already programmed a small application that will display newspaper articles. Thanks!

[PHP-DB] Where do I get started?
Thanks for the comments. The server is running both MySQL and PHP. How do I get started that this? Can anyone recomment a good book? Thanks again.

Dan, I think it is a very powerful combination. PHP is easy to learn as is mySQL. They are both free and powerful. Question 2: Yes you can do about anything to a database with PHP including updating field data, adding field data, and even creating a new database from a web front end. Chad -Original Message- From: Dan Eskildsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 5:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] PHP: Good for articles? Hi everyone. I am a freelance html web designer - and I am new at it. I have also learnt Javascript. I have a customer - a local newspaper - who wants me to update their site weekly with newspaper articles. I have been doing this in html. I recently changed ISP - and my new ISP allows me to run a MySQL database and PHP. I haven't used PHP before and I am now looking into it as a possiblity to dynamically create html pages that contain the articles sucked out of a SQL database. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can tell me if PHP + MySQL is a good setup / combination for this type of application. Another Question: Can users via PHP update field data in a MySQL database? I would really appreciate any comments. Please cc: your reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's snowing over here!
