MySQL hook up to a website ?

Hi, I am trying to develop a WebSite for my Church. I don't have much experience in IT, but I have a home page with html and css right now. I would like to have a database that I could hook it up to.. Are there any basic tutorials on how to do this? I am running linux mint. and My website is PHP.

How could i hook up a MySQL Database to the website. THanks for your help!

Check this out. It's very appropriate for beginners: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_intro.asp

Good luck :)

This answer is definitely a good one. I learned PHP and MySQL the hard way by essentially reverse engineering an OSCommerce site. A w3schools.com tutorial would have been much more appropriate.

use PHP's MySQL functions to access your database. Scroll down to the comments and you'll see a number of examples of common uses.

Your website hosting provider may already provide you with MySQL databases.. check your admin control panel to see what you have.
-- If you can't figure this out, contact your hosting provider.

When you've made it past that point, just find and follow one of the basic database creation tutorials out there.
