Login, PHP, and Database Help

karlyn324 · #1 08-06-2009, 06:12 AM

I'm very new to building websites and am a real beginner (thought bluevoda would help) so I think I need a lot of help. I've gone through all of the tutorials (at least the basic ones) and am having trouble with the login part and how to make the pages all come together and connecting it to my database. Here is a step by step of what I've done:

1) I've hit the login button
2) Created username, password, and login button
3) I then right-clicked login, clicked properties
4) Hit Create Database button, Select Database of file, entered username and password and created Data File Wizard, which created a .php file into .cpanel.

I know this is a really silly question, but what's next? Please help. I've been reading and looking for tutorials everywhere and seem to not be getting it. Any help would be great.

Thank you!!

Sorry but i can't understand what you are trying to do.

What is the purpose of this database ?

Unlesss your pages are dynamic (meaning that they retrieve the content from the database) there is no reason why your pages should be connected in any way with a database.

Are you using BlueVoda website builder to build your site ?

Please clarify.
