Learning php and stuff... help?

Alright, I have done this like four times and at the end I kept getting sql errors. Im trying a again. I am just starting with php and stuff, and I was wondering a few things. What is the best free hosting? I am looking for most script languages accepted/ easy to use. Also, if it runs on mySQL, I was wondering, how do I even use that? I apologise for that question but I have no idea about mySQL. Wondering if someone can help, getting into scripting/programming.

Im just starting to learn this to

Just testing this

ok, so two people need help then? Im hoping to just get through. Im setting up my schools website (hopefully) and I might need to show off some work to impress :P Either way I enjoy the hard access to an admin cpu. Makes me feel special :)

Right, its done in PHP. Check the PHP manual

What? Whats done in php and whats the php manual?

You can access MySQL using PHP. The PHP manual is based on PHP.net

alright, thanks. But where can I get good free php hosting? (if any other languages accepted, that would be great to)

Try http://www.100webspace.com/ for free hosting. It supports both php and MySQL :) Sign up for the Free Hosting plan. The rest is self-explanatory

Good luck!

Thanks alot. I tried out a login script and keep getting parse errors. It say, "Parse error: parse error in (website) on line 2" before it told me I needed to add a ) and I did (pretty sure I knew where) but it still says that. Here is my scrip- wait. I can't paste for some reson. It's a basic script. uh, line two (apparently that with the error) is markupif(!empty($_POST["username"]) && !empty($_POST["password& and thats where it cuts off. Do I need to do anything to it or is it spitting out random errors? (btw, I have tried a few things with no prevail. Thanks for all the help though- I really like that sever)edit:I also tried putting a bracket infront of !empty the second time

Paste your code on this website: http://pastebin.com/

Then give us a link, so we can look at it.

I apologise, but my computer is not letting me paste anything… I can copy it and do nothing with it :@ so I will have to retype it tomorrow. I am too busy tonight. Thanks for the help, and I will post my full code (both html and php) into here. (oh ya, and if anyone has any ideas why my paste aint working…… pm me or something)
