Creating something?

[david_m]

Hey, I have this ebook which I am learning PHP and MySQL from and in one part of the ebook there is a section called "Creating a new database" and it gives you these kind of instructions to put into a client??????:

CREATE DATABASE databasename
SHOW DATABASES
DROP DATABASE databasename

It gives instructions like that and by this point I hope you know what I am talkling about. Does anyone know where to get this client or how to create one or install one? Thank you!

as far as i know you will need a web host to do this stuff, i use PHP and annd that stuff al the time but i have never set it up stand alone or done any editing other than a few minor things...

I have a webhost which offers unlimited databases and its linux. How do I create a clients for sending these request?

so i gather you have a host taht supports PHP and MySQL and you want to add a database? do you have a control panel? if so wich one and is it possiable to get a screenshot of it?

Generally most php/mySQL hosts will run a database interface. The most common being phpMyAdmin. You would use the database control panel to insert the SQL query which will create a database.

It is also possible to install mysql and php on your home computer and run it locally as a server. This is often the best way for learning because you aren't dependent on an internet host. How you install these things depends upon what operating system you are running.
