Okay, so, I've been reading about MySQL and PHP. Awesome WF members have been helping me trying to understand it and truth is, i realize that reading ain't going to get you nowhere.
It's about time i try it!
I'm going to buy hosting and a domain and play around with it. Can anybody tell me how to start using it?

why don't you try to use local environment first rather then getting a hosting and domain.

Code:

^^^ what he said

- Google WAMP or XAMP , it's free btw

It basically installs a virtual server on your computer, you don't need a domain. It's a faster way to learn.
Read up on the basics to get started.

pro tip = don't post in big red letters, this isn't preschool
 
The fonts on the first post we're about as close to being water boarded by a message board I've ever been.
 
1. Unlearn how to change font
2. Buy a cheap .info for practice
3. Get a cheap $5 / month hosting
4. Install wordpress
5. Make $$$,$$$ your first month
6. ??

How to use PHP with MySQL on your web site

I think that you can get what you need from this link. It is quite clear. Good Luck
 
I hear Digital Point is good for tutz, they have bigger fonts too and a better selection of colours.
 
there's a ton of tuts about php and mysql, you'll easily find whatever you need simply searching on google.
Start with a couple tutorials on your local machine installing something like xampp, then don't waste time, get a hosting account and a domain and start building something real, you'll learn php and mysql day by day building something real.
Don't use big colored fonts anymore.
 
1. I edited your post for readability.

2. If you make another thread with big ugly ass fonts like that again I will delete it.

Not to be a dick but holy shit I don't like getting eye-raped when I enter a thread.
 
FUCK that red on gray makes me feel queasy!

What are your goals bud? Especially for MySQL, are you wanting to be able to build database structures or just be able to find your way around the data?
