Never Done

[kinshra]

Hey I was surfing around looking for help and such for making my own BBgame, however I dont know where to actually start T_T its quiet upsetting realy.

I know I have to setup a data base with PhP (dont realy know how to start on that)
 
and I was told I ahve to do something with MySQL, nope got nothing there neither, So what im asking for is soem helpfull hints and Tricks and possible links to other sites for help.

Or just a link to a REALY helpfull book!

what do I know? i hear you shout I know basic Html, but besides that...ummm nothing 

Oh an dI know Alot about Graphic Design, but nothing about making a BBgame, I play many many many of them, but still dont know how to make one  T_T and now im repeating myself.

So yes, I would prefure an Email: Kinshra@yahoo.com

but posting here works too

If you send the email be sure to put a pasific subject k?!....

Thanks for any help, and good luck to all.

If you run windows then I would suggest Easyphp over XXAMP.  You can get easyphp here: http://www.easyphp.org/telechargements.php3  Version 1.8 is php4, mysql4, and version 2.0 is php5, mysql5 so get whatever version you want to try.  It takes only a few minutes to install and then all the servers start by clicking the easyphp icon.  Once you get that done you can get some tutorials and start looking at some simple php code.

Yeah, EasyPHP is what I run - and after trying a few different ones, I'm sticking with it.

Yeah?
I've never tried easyPHP. I've always used xampp.
What's the difference?

I did try XAMPP but not extensively - I just did not find it as easy to use as EasyPHP (haha, hence the name I guess!). It is probably just personal preference.

When I tried XAMPP the mySQL server would not start automatically for me.  I would have to start XAMPP then go check to see if mySQL was running, usually it wasn't, then go start it manually.  It just seemed very unstable.  Easyphp is easy as install and run.
