I need to use a database

I've been writing my own HTML for some time,
www.ckdoublenecks.com is one of my websites, but now I need to incorporate a database. What do I need to do to use one here. I have the programs written to access and display. The real question is: does Bravenet have a wizard to create a database? I've been trying for weeks to do this locally but i'm having difficulty.

Browser: IE

OS: win 2000 Prof

Re: I need to use a database

A little more information and we can help better.

First make sure that your hosting supports databases.
If it does there may be a tool labelled "PHP My Admin" or similar. This can be used to manage databases.

What language are you using to write the server code?
PHP is pretty easy to use I've found, and databases/tables can be created directly from the code, if necessary.

Browser: Mozilla Firefox 3.6.*

OS: Windows 7

Hello,

To answer your questions, yes bravehost does hav a wizard for creating a database in the database protion. It creates the database in MYSQL however you have to use the MYSql database with PHP. PHP is the scripting language that allows you to access your database. Hope this helps.
