Now I have SAMS book for PHP and mySQL but in Arabic.. so now at the

so which lessons must I see.. and which PHP Actions will I use for
that?
What do you mean which actions?
I want to make a PHP page that reads from a mySQL Database.. This page
displays two fields for the user : 1- Username. 2- Password.
Now in the database there are many columns.. each one has many fields
:
Username, Password, Serial, Phone No., Address..Etc..
Now I want the PHP file to take the Username and Password after the
user enter them in the fields and compare them with the ones inside
the database.. if they are the same.. the serial field inside the
database will send its value to the PHP page.. which will echo it as a
variable ($var) there..
Whatever do you want to do that for? What do you need (or want) to accomplish? What
kind of project is this? Give us the big picture!
So every user has a column that has..
That has...?? Your unfinished sentences presume telepathic powers that few of us
have. :-)
So which actions must I use.. and which lessons are important for me
at the moment? because my project must be finnished in the comming week.
What exactly do you expect the people on this list to do for you? Help you with your
project because you're running out of time? Most of us are very busy too, so take it
nice
and easy.
Have you opened the book that you've bought and had a look at its table of contents?
Have you read the introduction? Authors usually tell you in the introduction which
parts
you absolutely must read to get up and running. Assuming that your book has a section
on PHP, a section on MySQL and a section on PHP interacting with MySQL, you'll
probably want to read the first few chapters in each section.
When you have a better idea of what it is that you want to accomplish and stumble on a
problem that you can't solve, then by all means post a question to this list
preferably
with a title that reflects the issue you're addressing, not the urgency of your
personal
needs.
Good luck,
Erik
