Primary & Foreign Keys at MySQL

I'm builing a news sytem based at MySQL and PHP. I also want to include comments for the user. So what I want is when a user clicks to read the story (i.e. index.php?id=1) he will be redirected to a page which will have the story and some comments posted by users.

Being new to all of these (PHP, MySQL) I presume I have to set a primary key for the stories table (i.e. newsid) and a foreign key at the comments table (i.e. commentsid -primary-, newsid -foreign from news table-). Anyone know how to do that with phpMyAdmin?

For the end, how can I make it in the script (index.php) so eveytime someone submits a comment (insert into comments table) will be displayed below the news story?

P.S: Sorry for my grammar...

RE: Primary & Foreign Keys at MySQL

With MySQL, you don't actually tell it that something is a foreign key...all you need to do is add a column for the foreign key you want, then just populate it with the proper data....
