have you tried doing a google search for PHP and MySQL?
Yes and it is extremely confussing to find good info so far tho i figured out how to set up the table. I have a table 2 char fields of 20 each and the first field is name second is pass. What do i do to do something tho? I'm confussed.
The reason they are so difficult to understand is they are done with the mysql / php installed on the persons computer. But I am using a webhost with php and mysql. It has these things that make the code for you but i cant figure them out :-/

First before you even go to php+mysql, learn the sql syntax first. Do you know how to use the SELECT, INSERT, DROP, UPDATE, etc. functions for a query for the database?
Go to www.w3schools.com out in the left frame ther is server scripting and under that ther is "learn SQL" and "learn PHP".

first thing you should do is figure out if you are using php version 4.2 or later and if so if register_globals is off.
It will save you a lot of rewriting of code since I've noticed a lot of older books and tutorials assumes register_globals is on!

Install apache, PHP and MySQL on your own computer, then you can play around with it easier.

Then find a tutorial on PHP, and see if you can figure it out.

Lots of people here can help you, but you'll have to be a lot more specific about what you need.

You haven't told us what you're trying to do, only that you dont know how to use SQL.
You should go to www.phpfreaks.net!

Download Xitami (server program), download PHP (serverscripting).
