I'm thinking of making the conversion from Cold Fusion. I am NOT a programmer and so Cold Fusion has been very easy for me to use. However due to cost and a few other factors, I"m thinking PHP might be a good switch. Some the deciding factors will be its ease of use and how good these forums are. The Cold Fusion forums have proven to be a fantastic resource for problems and so I would need these forums to be as good or better for me to justify changing languages...this leads me to my first php question. I have a database set up using MySQL on my windows 2000 server using an ODBC driver for my connection. My datasource name is "test," my database name is "testdatabase" and I have a table named "testtable". My username is "usernametest" and my password is "passwordtest" How would I run a simple query to insert a row in my testtable table that has two fields, one called testfield1 the other called testfield2. Then, how would I run another query to select that row and print it on my html page? I have scanned over the manual (VERY BRIEFLY) and didn't see anything related to the database integration.
My apologies for this totally mundane question, but as I said above, this messages serves a two-fold purpose and the first is to see how good these forums are :) any help you can provide is greatly appreciated, thx in advance for your time, Burrito -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
