Thanks again.
What it really comes down to for me at this stage is that not everything/all
config interfaces are really all that 'acccessible' at this stage since part
of what I'm still getting 100% comfortable in is trying to do 'everything' I
used to in the old days, where I still looked up everything/taught myself
everything - basically using only MS stuff, and (obviously) sighted - LOL!
Stay well

Jacob,
Glad to hear you got it working. It was a bit frustrating for me when I
first started venturing into this territory, WAMP reduced a lot of my
stress.
Take care...
Bill

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
