For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Setting up a MySQL database from PHP

Yes ... training on a Sunday ;-) ... I've been setting up a MySQL database from a PHP script and testing it. A couple of bits of source to share.

1. The setup of the database:

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","womble","wimbledon");
mysql_query("create database gerald");
mysql_select_db("gerald");
mysql_query("create table course(first text, second text)");
mysql_query('insert into course values("Upper","Lower")');
mysql_query('insert into course values("Smiff","Yones")');
?>


2. A page to test that it's there:

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","womble","wimbledon");
mysql_select_db("gerald");
$rs = mysql_query("select * from course");
while ($rown = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)) {
  $html .= "$rown[first] ... $rown[second]<br>";
  }
?>
<html>
<body>
Here it is <br>
<?= $html ?>
</body>
</html>



(We had to set it up this way as there is only FTP access to the server ... learn more about these things on our PHP courses and MySQL courses
