So I came up with the idea to make a page that would show some current information I've posted and have the ability to add/edit/delete this information. Everything else fell in line once I had the idea of what I wanted to happen. I had to research pulling and putting records into mysql. It was a horrible mess compared to what I do now, but you have to get your feet wet somehow. Find something you want to accomplish. It gives you specific requirements and fulfilling them is where you really learn. After you complete your project, do another one. Along the way you'll learn what does and doesn't work. The first script I ever really tried to work on was loosely based around this article [1]. There are lots of issues I have with the code but it is what I started out with. It shows the basics of working with mysql and the whole record workflow. Some of the main issues I have are: - or die() is not error handling - no escaping of raw data on output - lack of data validation on user input These issues aren't as important if it is a local pet project. If you plan on making this more than a weekend hobby though, please make sure to read up on the security side of things also. [2] For a more in depth look see the OWASP Guide. [3] Good luck!
