In this tutorial, Timothy shows you how to get started using SQLite starting with how to obtain it and install it and progressing through example usage.
The purpose of these examples are to show you various ways to use PHP and MySQL. The examples include displaying all fields in the database, random fields, sorting alphabetically and limiting the results returned.
This tutorial will hopefully teach you some basics of how to access data with your PHP scripting to gather information with in a MySQL database.
The first step you need to do is get a basic understanding of what MySQL is. If your site can handle or has access to a MySQL database you should try using the PHP Myadmin application to help you use and access your MySQL datases fast and easy.
After having worked through this tutorial you will be able to:
* know how the additional phpMyAdmin features using special seperate tables work and how to set them up
* store pictures inside a MySQL table and view them from within phpMyAdmin
* put specific transformations on any of your columns
* create your own transformations, even with active PHP-code in it!
* create PDF pages of your table layout, with relations and individually positioned ER-models
At the end of this tutorial there's also some hints on getting the most out of your phpMyAdmin config file, showing you some configuration directives which seem to get less public attention.
Everyone who likes MS HTML Help (.chm extension) can now obtain complete conversion of MySQL manual into this format. This conversion tries to bring additional functionality and make using of MySQL manual more comfortable.
The usage of databases in larger web-based applications is essential. By using basic object-orientated techniques we can minimize the fuss of connecting and interacting with a database. We can also reuse this code in other applications: a huge benefit of 'OO' programming.
