I'm not sure if you have already installed MySQL and need help setting up the database or need help installing.  If you need help installing, check out http://groups.google.com and type in installing mysql.  You can usually find a wealth of knowledge on there.  If you have the program installed but need to setup the database, check out Webmin (http://www.webmin.com).  It is a web based application that makes setting up different aspects of a server much easier.

Since mysql, Oracle, DB2 and Microsoft all offer free versions of their databases I am not sure who would pay money for a database.  Try selling something else.

Create a new database, using the Database Wizard.  There, it will give you different samples.  There is probably several ready-to-run examples there to use...

Get hosting that allows PHP, You can get them for cheap now days, www.site5.com is a pretty decent one. They usually provide a forum script but if they don't  Then you gotta find a forum script. Good news is that they're a dime a dozen. I believe PHPbb is for free and pretty easy to deal with.  you can get it here http://www.phpbb.com/\nonce you download it, upload it to your site and follow the installation instructions. It should be pretty simple.\nIf you ever face any problem with the forum just read their documentations or get on their community websites, there are usually people there who are more than happy to help you.

Yes, make sure you have all the correct entries for your database. It will not be root@localhost unless you are running it off of your own personal server. If you are not sure of your username, password, database address, ask your database provider for the info.

You will have to use some scripting language, \nI advise you to use PHP with MySQL. \nBut also there are a LOT of created sollutions. Just look out for login script or even you can try with some CMS like Joomla, Mambo, PHPnuke, XOOPS ........ witch already have implemented loging feature.

MySQL is a good, free, open source database.  If you're going to go that route, you'll want to use one of these two free programs to configure and use mysql more easily.\n\nhttp://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/\n\nhttp://yoursql.ludit.it/

If you are using the native mysql drivers in PHP, then there are no MySQL arrays, you are creating an object that you iterate over. The idea is to iterate over the object's results and put those results into an array. Observe:\n\n<?php\n// Connecting, selecting database\n$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')\n   or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());\necho 'Connected successfully';\nmysql_select_db('my_database') or die('Could not select database');\n\n// Performing SQL query\n$query = 'SELECT * FROM my_table';\n$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());\n\n// Printing results in HTML\necho "<table>&#92;n";\nwhile ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {\n   echo "&#92;t<tr>&#92;n";\n   foreach ($line as $col_value) {\n       echo "&#92;t&#92;t<td>$col_value</td>&#92;n";\n   }\n   echo "&#92;t</tr>&#92;n";\n}\necho "</table>&#92;n";\n\n// Free resultset\nmysql_free_result($result);\n\n// Closing connection\nmysql_close($link);\n?> \n\nThe line you are looking for is:\nwhile ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))\n\nBasically, mysql_fetch_array will return an associtive array containing the column name as the key, and the data for that column into $line. Then you can further push that into an array container.\n\nvar $data = array();\n...\n$data[] = $line;\n...\n\nYou cannot otherwise take a mysql result and make it an array, you must iterate over the object.\n\nFYI - I do not reccomend using the native PHP drivers. Using an abstraction library makes your code so much more portable. Using native drivers may make for quick coding, but you loose so much more in the end. \n\nI've included links to Pear::DB, ADODB, and PDO as possible libraries to look at. There are more, these are just examples.\n\nHope that helps.

If you're going for free webhosting, you'll have a very hard time finding one that offers database technology.  If PHP is allowed on your server, it is possible to create a database and store it to a file, although it depends on why you need the database.\n\nIf you are planning on using already written code that works off of a database such as PHPBB is made to use MySQL, you'll have a hard time imitating this with a custom coded database.\n\nAs the previous answer said, you can use a database on a different webhost, or set up your own web server.

Once you understand that book, there are LOADS of books for various levels of expertise .... from novice to professional.\n\nYou'll be developing basic applications in no time!

you should be able to limit access via the database interface, if it's something that you've built, then make accounts and force logins, or if it's something like phpmyadmin, then go to the mysql database and edit the users table as you need it, it  has an easy to understand y/n priv system
