First of all,
I have a really good memory if I want to remember things that I want to remember......
<that didn't even make sense to me!>
so I can learn a lot of stuff at one time, and i only get partially confused!!! yay!!!
I have really taken a liking to PHP,
but I am not actually very sure on how to make a connection to a MySQL DB, I also need to know how to print a certain field to a page...
Code:
<?php
//some kind of loop starts here
for each whatever //is there a for each loop in PHP??
echo fieldname;
//stop the loop somehow
?>
Ok, I know it is going to be something similar to that...
but I am not sure...
also how to I retrieve the querystring, and execute a line of SQL?
now, for the Perl question
"via a hash, you can add data to the DBM database.... etc"
that was from one of my books,
what is an DBM database?
is it a certain kind of DB, or is it a certain way to connect to one?
Can somebody explain to me how to connect to a MySQL database in Perl if that is possible.
and for the C++ question,
I am completely lost in C++ CGI programming... :confused:
can somebody give me some links or something to a good source of examples, tutorials etc..?
Thanks a lot!!
PS:
the reason I am "Rushing" to learn all this, is I am registering a domain soon, at a kick-ass host... they allow access to the C++ compiler, you can use perl, mysql, php, etc etc, 300mb, unlimited transfer, etc, etc...... all for $31 setup, and $20 a month afterward :D

Also check out
http://php.resourceindex.com
which has loads of readymade php stuff.
and http://www.resourceindex.com which has loads of CGI stuff, and a section on C++ CGI.

And don't forget to print out all the documentation from The PHP site!! Last time I did, it was somewhere in the region of 600+ pages I believe :)
Tip: get your dad or someone else you know to do it at work
