Well for java you will have to get a jdbc-driver first. I think, your best choice was think, to get it from here: <http://www.worldserver.com/mm.mysql/>. A tutorial on this topic can be found here: <http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Servlet-Tutorial/> I suppose, you have Apache with Tomcat as a servlet-container? Try it at <http://java.apache.org> Good luck, and have fun (and this _is_ fun-stuff!) Wolfgang Arendt Vodafone TeleCommerce GmbH SW Test & Config.

Januar 2001 01:34 An: 'MySQL List' Betreff: Looking for tutorials/examples of ways of accessing mysql via apa che. Hi, I've been struggling over the last couple of weeks to setup perl/DBI/apache/mysql/php and have finally accomplished that part of the task. The task now is to setup databases and access the data via active server pages either in java or php. I don't have a good feel for html, but I understand the basics. I was wondering if someone out there had some simple scripts/examples that could take me through the basics of accessing a database located on a unix machine from PC's running Internet Explorer. First I would like to just like to get users to fill in a form and then send the form to the server and display the results. Later I would like to be able to insert data into the database, and allow users to recall that data. An example would be contacts database. Thanks for any help people are willing to give.
