I've just installed WampServer on my PC. I thought I'd get started by just trying to create a simple database with a couple of columns of data which I could then access and retrieve via my web browser. Once I retrieve the values via mySQL query (through my web browser), I could then modify the values and write them back to the database. I think this might be a good place to start. Eventually I will need to access several GB of data in a mySQL database which I will display & manipulate in my browser - tables, forms, etc.
Everything will be running on WinXP SP3 with IE. I don’t plan on having my application hosted on a website so I will need to run everything on a single PC. This same PC is also the only PC that will need to access the database.
I have some experience with HTML and even less with PHP and mySQL. I really need some help getting walked through this, or at least a strong tutorial aligned with my effort. Any help & tips will be appreciated. Thanks.
