Hi to Everyone !
How can I learn how to make first steps in PHP ?
I run Debian Lenny, and I lately got acquainted with MySQL : I
installed a server on my system, built a few databases there, using
basic SQL scripts. I also learnt to manage those MySQL databases with
OpenOffice.org_base.
Now, I wish to try managing those MySQL bases from a web page that
would contain PHP scripts. I have found a short document, a kind of a
FAQ, that explains a few PHP basics, still I miss some down-to-Earth
knowledges :
Have I got to install one or more Debian packages for PHP ?
'$apt-cache search PHP' gives too many results for a choice. If the
MySQL server and databases end up to the webspace that my Internet
Provider allows to me, I suppose that the PHP interpreter and/or
compiler will have to be there, not on my system ? Still, I suppose
that I must install something locally so as to be able to send
meaningfull commands using appropriate scripts ? Prior to run tests
on distant web space, I first wish to carry trials with connexions to
my local mysql server.
Thanks in advance for your help
