HTML & PHP ??

[NIRSCH]

Hi !

As you can see I am new in this HTML5 world so let me tell you what's goin' on.
I made a "ERP" system for my work, based on html, php and mysql in order to save, delete, show and update my info. Then I see some html5 pages and I found them very interenting and pretty but the thing is, after I use an html template and readin' a couple of manuals ( pdf ) I've got my page and look's a little pretty so far (more practice I need) but I can't make that my inputs get into my DB (Mysql). I am using my php files to connect, but even If I write the code the Chrome browser shows me the code, for example:

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('kauffenheute', 'root', ' ');
if
(!$link) {
die(mysql_error());
}
echo
'Successful connection';
mysql_close($link);
?>

so, Would you please tell me, where can I find some of this info? any help would be perfect.
Thanks!

What seems to be the problem? Is your MySQL connection failing? Or do you get the code as plain text?

You need a web server such as Apache with PHP installed, and have your server configured to handle the ".php" file extension.

Either the above, or find a host which enables you to use these technologies. (Shared hosts are very cheap, and most supports PHP/MySQL).

I also think you would need to specify a username and password for your database connection. I.e.

Code: Select all

$Host = 'localhost';
$User = 'UserName';
$Pass = 'Password';

$Connection = mysql_connect($Host, $User, $Pass);
$SelectedDB = mysql_select_db($MYSQL_Dbase, $LDB_Connection);
