Hello Kira, There are hundreds different languages, tools and abstraction toolkits that use MySQL. In the manual, we start with the simplest possible choice - using MySQL from the command line. I will suggest to the documentation team that we provide suggestions at the start of the article on how to get started with other combinations of technologies. For learning how to use MySQL with a given language (such as PHP) it is often best to look at the documentation for the language. With PHP, if you visit http://php.net/mysql, you will find a simple example of how to connect to using PHP, along with many additional details for each function. Additionally, many common topics, such as using Dreamweaver, MySQL and PHP have be covered in web-based articles. A search on Google.com for 'dreamweaver mysql php' returns results like: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/php.html Cheers and happy coding! -- Zak Greant MySQL AB Community Advocate -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
