This is a personal project to facilitate my learning of PHP and MySQL. I have done a fair amount of reading and have a beginner's knowledge, but am looking for some sample code and a good tutorial to illustrate specific functions. As I am just a beginner, please excuse any errors I may make in describing this project and please ask questions if I've used any terminology that doesn't make sense. I would like a simple PHP script based on my sample files that will query a MySQL database and return the results in an HTML page based on a user's initial input to an on-line form. The attached zip file contains detailed instructions and sample files of the project. Open the [login to view URL] file to see the instructions. The values used in the sample files are purely arbitrary and are only used for demonstration purposes. I would prefer that the project be completed using only HTML, PHP and MySQL. If another scripting language such as Java is needed, please let me know.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working script and source code. 2) An HTML address that I could go to and test out the script. This is to ensure that it works before I put the files on my Windows 2000 machine. I have Apache/PHP/MySQL set up, but am still learning how to manage it. So if there's a problem, I'll know that it's because of my individual set up. 3) Instructions explaining how the script and code works including the purpose and affect of the functions and variables used, as well as additional instructions detailing how to add data to the MySQL table. Please remember that I am new to PHP and MySQL, so make the instructions accordingly. 4) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
## Platform
I will be testing the output on my Windows 2000 machine which is set up with Apache/PHP/MySQL. If there are things that would change if the files are used on a UNIX or Linux based server, please make note of them. Also, please note if there are any limitations based on the type of browser that would be used.
