HI All i was wondering if someone could help me, this is probably a simple task, but for someone thats not done any before it seems impossible
I have a mysql database, with data in it, and i would like to be able to produce that data on a web page, so would appreciate some examples, i don't mind if its simple, just want to be able to view it via a web page
You have a db already but now you need to pick a language to write the code that connects the web end to the backend database. Good choices are Perl or PHP.
Have a look at some of the O'Reilly books eg. O'Reilly Books: Managing & Using MySQL, 2nd Edition
There may be some useful tutorials and book reviews at http://www.onlamp.com/
(Linux + Apache + MySQL + (PHP|Perl) )
and this page has tutorials on it of just what you need: http://www.onlamp.com/onlamp/general/mysql.csp
