MySQL 4.1 - Myphpadmin tables

Hi,
I'm trying to learn mysql, php and myphpadmin...I am finding myphpadmin to be difficult.

There is heaps of information out there for php and mysql, however I can't find any help for myphpadmin.

I'm just trying to create a table in myphpadmin.
I've found sql scripts to create tables, however they all encounter syntax errors when I type them into the query box.

Also when I use the 'create table' in myphpadmin, I get a table with all kinds of terms that I have no idea what they are, and I don't know how to customize this table.

I have PHP Version 4.3.11.

If I could get any pointers on where to find a myphpadmin user guide, or any help just orientating myself in the user console,
that would be so appreciated.

Thank you
Naomi

Phpmyadmin is simply a tool you can use to avoid writing SQL yourself. The terminology used in Phpmyadmin is the same as in MySQL, and the user interface is quite intuitive. If you learn MySQL, you learn Phpmyadmin.



It would help to see the SQL code and the error messages.



The phpMyAdmin documentation should prove helpful. However, like I said before, the best way to learn the MySQL database is to learn the SQL used in it, and once you gain some experience you will find the MySQL documentation to be a good resource. In the very beginning, though, I suggest you try to find beginner tutorials.

I hope this answer was helpful.

Thanks heaps for your help and taking time to answer my question. It helped me get the hang of the basics.
