    PHP is defeating me! (Help)

    I've been looking into php recently because I want to create a website for a gaming company (well for four people who call themselves a gaming company). Now, most of the syntax for PHP is pretty easy. Being able to code C++, I just started reading up on PHP today and I pretty much get it. I can create an informational website just fine, using HTML, CSS and PHP.

    What I want, however, is to be able to have team members log-in so that updates and news can be posted for milestones and other things that everyone must be alerted of, as well as a section to upload files for all of the people handling assets (That way they don't have access to the SVN), that way they don't have to worry about their e-mail attachment sizes, etc;

    My server has MySQL installed. I just don't really know how to use it. I'm trying to make something where there is a log-in (possibly with a remember option using cookies) and I really am having the most trouble connecting with creating a database and connecting to it. I've looked at things on free2code and a few other sites, but I still can't quite get it work.

    Anyone? Help?

    Does the initial MySQL install have PHP support? I'm pretty sure it does, but you may need to find an API to talk between PHP and the database. In either case, there should be good documentation or APIs at the MySQL database. The only experience I hooking an app to a db is through .NET to a mySQL database, but I can't see this being much different.

      Ah, thanks but I got it. I was messing around with my site's cpanel and I found the ever-magical phpMyAdmin. Very delicious thing, that phpMyAdmin.

        Cool. I was thinking about picking up PHP over the summer. I'll keep phpmyAdmin in mind.
