I am tring to complete a project for university using msql, php, apache and phpmyadmin(local)
The main basis for this project is being able to transfer data to and from a mysql database.
Having never used the languages required I am having trouble figuring out what I am doing wrong. All I want to do for now is put a record in a table using forms on a php page.
I have managed to put this together (see below) but all I get is "page cannot be displayed"
I have looked through the previous posts but I could not find one that helped
If any of you programming geniuses can help me out I’d really appreciate it
Thanks....flameifrit
I am using......
>php 4.3.9
>phpmyadmin 2.6.1
>msql servers and clients 3.23.49
>apache http server 2.0.50
