Where do you put php codes on a website? In the MySql place or actually upload to the website?

mysql
Ichigo asked:


I tryed adding my code into MySql and it kept giving me an error “Unknown Punctuation String @ 1.” It’s acutally a login system that I copied from a free source. I also tried copying from another free source but that gave the same error.

PHP is used in files on your web server with the .php extention. PHP files can be written in a plain text editor like NotePad and saved with a .php extention.

As an example, open Notepad and paste this in:

Now save the file as helloworld.php
Upload it to your web server
Navigate to the file.

The output will be:

Hello World!

You’ve just written your first PHP script…congrats. =)
