How to link PHPmyAdmin?

Hi there!

My friend and I are making an app, and we are making a database using PHPmyAdmin. My question is this - how do I link the database to the HTML document? Can you please provide code?

Thanks,

Adam

PhpMyAdmin is actually a piece of software that reads data from a MySQL database, so it would be more accurate to say that you are making a database using MySQL. Probably the easiest way to connect a web page to a MySQL database is using PHP. It has a native object class of "PDO" that provides an easy way to run queries. You can find some example code for it in this blog post:

(You'll find it towards the bottom in the "Practical Example" section.) I'm actually working on a course that covers this material right now, and I hope to have it out later this fall.
