INTRODUCTION

REQUIREMENTS

1. PHP - This means the company/website that provides you webspace (your host) has PHP installed on their server. Or, download and install PHP for free if you're running your own server. Here is a link: http://www.php.net/downloads.php.
2. MySQL database - This means the company/website that provides you webspace (your host) has MySQL database installed on their server. Or, download and install MySQL for free if you're running your own server. Again, here is a quick link: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.
3. phpMyAdmin - Not required, but you will be creating tables in your database, and this tool makes it much easier! Just like the others, free download heres a link: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php
4. Proper Design - You will be entering code that needs to appear on every page of your site, so to make this simpler on your part, your site should be setup where everything is broken up like: page_header, page_sidebar, etc. If you're lost, read this tutorial: Site Design Made Simple.
5. PATIENCE!!! - It almost never works the first time you set it up. Find your errors and go from there. I will guide you through as best as I can, but in the end if there is something you cannot fix or find an answer for, try the Forums and if I cannot help you, someone else can.

Date: Feb 27 2008 at 5:45 pm     asim13june, Did you read the entire article? This guide shows you step by step what files to create and such. It is up to you what directory you want to store them in, just be sure that you reference to the files accordingly within the various scripts. If you have any detailed questions, start a thread in the forums and we'll try to help. Thanks   Artiscorp   Subject: "php myAdmin" Date: Nov 10 2010 at 4:57 pm     I managed install and set up SQL and PHP MYADMIN have been trying to follow your tutorial which is excellent by the way considering I have no idea where what I'm doing. However no pain no gain my question is simple I have two boxes over the top of the first one it says create database which has three... and then into space a second box has the word Collation and then a button with the words (create database) what do I type in that first box I've tried various names like-Login -names, but I keep receiving error message. Please help would greatly appreciate it thank you!   bs0d   Subject: "phpMyAdmin Install" Date: Nov 11 2010 at 1:20 pm     Ariscorp: Unfortunately I'm not sure I will be much help to you here. It sounds like you have installed SQL and phpMyAdmin, but now you need to create a database. I would recommend following the installation guide for both programs, which should include creating the database. Once you have that, you can create the necessary tables for this members system, and begin creating the PHP pages.
