Watch Video | Download Video

This video shows you how to create a new MySQL database on your OLS server. Then I go into using phpMyAdmin to create the tables in your database. Finally I show a simple PHP page that will pull the information out of the database and display it in a web page. I also have several other videos about MySQL and data access, including using Dreamweaver to write the PHP code for you.

This video shows how to create a web page that displays records from your database. In this example, we code all the PHP ourselves, instead of relying on Dreamweaver. It uses a simple blog as an example.

The code used in the video can be downloaded here. The example files expand upon the video. There is a master page (index.php) which lists all the blog postings. There is a details page (blog.php) and a search page (search.php). I also have a video detailing how to create the search page.

Video Tutorial: MySQL Administrator

March 26th, 2009

Watch Video | Download Video

This video goes through how to adminster a database using a GUI based tool called MySQL Administrator. I find that using this application is much easier than going through phpMyAdmin.

This video will go through installing the application, creating a new database and then how to connect to your database using MySQL Administrator.

Important Note: Some students have indicated not being able to connect to their database using MySQL Administrator. I believe that some of the OLS database servers are restricting users from connecting using this method. If you are unable to connect using MySQL Administrator first verify that your username/password and database server name are correct. If you are sure they are correct and still cannot connect it is most likely because you are on a server that is unable to use MySQL Administrator.
