Basic PHP&SQL database

[Borgtex]

I have some basic knowledgement of PHP, but I want to create a very basic MySQL database (i.e. Name, occupation & e-mail) and be able to read/add/delete it through PHP.

So I'm looking for a simple tutorial that explains how to do it and a basic running example (with code and database) that could be downloaded (I like to learn from the code itself; it's a good guide)

Somebody knows where can I find all that?

Also, if you know a free server that supports PHP & MySQL to make my experiments, post it too. Thanks

Check out firepages (http://www.firepages.com.au), there's a full MySQL/PHP/Apache install script there, together with a browser based MySQL admin module. The latter gives you an excellent idea on how to approach the MySQL databases.

Also, webmonkey's tutorial (http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/php/tutorials/tutorial4.html) gives a first view of handling MySQL databases with PHP scripting.
