I need help with orginizing my own website steps

Hello everyone ! My target now is creating some project web-site. I've been studied html and css and a little of php sql and javascript.

I need help to connect all of this files into one project. I still cant understand how to do it.

For php i installed apache and yes I can make web page on my local host. For mysql i installed MySQL serever or mysql workbench, just fallowed the treehouse lessons. and I bought hosting at webhostingforstudents.com.

So the question is how can i make website with database? how to do this via hosting and how to do this on my own computer using domain that i bought.

If my question looks confusing please chat with me here cuz my english is not perfect. sorry

On your personal computer (for testing purposes) I find XAMPP (https://www.apachefriends.org/) the far easiest way to implement Apache MySQL and PHP in one tidy package; this is a single installer that configures everything for you on you localhost. As far as Web Hosting For Students (WHFS) I would imagine that like most hosts you can login through your c-panel and manage your database (MySQL) through PhpMyAdmin, the PHP and webserver should be configured to work together perfectly on WHFS. You should be able to export your MySQL database tables to a .SQL file on localhost and then upload to your WHFS MySQL implementation.

Hi Devin,

Thanks for your answer. I was in the same situation as Gregory. Now I am taking the course in MySQl and I was wondering : -in order to grant user permissions -and if you want to synchronize your databases with your website. How do you do that?

-Can you do everything on cpannel of WHFS. -or I was curious if I can do this process directly on Workbench, on my localcomputer. But I had some problems when I was creating a new connection. I set in the details from my hostign account, in terms of the username,password IP adress and port(all information got from WHFS), but I get errors all the time and I need some help how to go about it.

Thank you kindly, Elena
