Thanks to Bill Bolte for referring me to the Wamp installation.
I can now in fact start doing what I want using the combination of PHP and
MySQL.
Only funny thing I found was that initially after the installation, after
starting up MySQL.exe in order to create a database, add a user etc., for
some reason it kept on generating errors when I tried to create the user
using the following syntax:
create user blindza identified by 'whatever';
However it now seems to be working fine, since I've now created the database
with one table in it so far, and specified the new username/password combo,
granted them privileges to that database, and tested it with some very
simple code just reading what's currently the only record in that DB, and
displaying it in the output.
Either way, like I said, thanks since I can now finally try to get back on
track, and the next thing I will most likely try is to implement the
PHPMyAdmin app that I downloaded since it's also what gets used by/at my
hosting provider.
Stay well
