Newbie question: UPDATE

2005-11-27 Thread Joe Herman
To those thinking of answering this question, There is additional
information.

For some reason, I found out that the version of PHPMyAdmin at my web
hosting provider was missing the Insert data from a text file into the
table feature found at the bottom of the page after clicking on the
name of the table.

I thought that the reason for this was because they were using an older
version of PHPMyAdmin, so he was kind enough to download and install the
recent stable version into a folder under my hosting account via ftp. He
told me this copy was for me alone to use, since he could not upgrade it
for the entire system.

After I hung up with him, I launched the version of PHPMyAdmin he
installed for me and went to look for the feature. Unfortunately, the
feature was still not there!

Is this feature special, an add on to PHPMyAdmin? Or should it be there
with the standard installation? If it is special, where can it be found?

Thank you for your help.

Joe.

Hello folks,
 
What is the best way to import an excel spreadsheet, or text file for
that matter into a table?
 
Is there a way to do this with PHPMyAdmin?
 
Thank you so much for your kind help.

FW: What development environment?

2005-10-30 Thread Joe Herman
Hello, I am a website designer and am committed to learning how to
create database driven websites. Currently I am thinking about using php
with MySql, but was wondering if there were any more compelling
development environments such as visual studio.net, asp, and or java.
 
Based on the experience of users on this list, can anyone tell me what
they prefer and why? What do most people use here?

Innodb?

2005-10-14 Thread Joe Herman
Hello, I am just starting with MySQL and PHP, but this discussion about
innodb has rather piqued my interest. Can someone please give a brief
explanation as to what it is.
 
Cheers,

Can't figure out how to get it running

2005-09-02 Thread Joe Herman
Hello,

I am just getting started with MySql and PHP (previously was just
designing web pages). I am very new to database-based web development.

I installed IIS and PHP. I thought I installed MySQL as well but I can't
tell if it is working or not. I was told if I make a phpinfo.php file
and open it my browser I would see. Supposedly if there is a listing for
MySQL in the list that would mean it is running. There is no listing of
MySQL there. There are listings for other PHP items however which I
guess means PHP is running.

I saw that in the bin folder of MySQL there is a program called
MySQLadmin. Whenever I try to run that a small black screen flashes
momentarily on my screen (kind of looking like a command line window)
and then it disappears without giving me a chance to even see what it
is. Actually this happens with every program in the bin folder.

Would someone please tell me what I need to do to get MySQL to work?
Right now I am just trying to set things up so that I can start learning
PHP. Please help.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply.

I've done what you said. Unfortunately I get the message in the CMD
Window:

'MYSQLADMIN' is not a recognized as an internal or external command.

Can you tell me what this means? I did run the installer earlier. Thank
you.

Joe.

The way I could tell that mysl is running is to (assuming that you are 
running windows):
Click Start
Click Run
Type CMD
Press Enter
Type MYSQLADMIN PING
Press Enter
if you get the message mysqld is alive, then it is running  Thanks,
