I have just started learning PHP, and I am wondering - where do you insert the SQL code? Is it in a separate file, and if so, what sort of file?

You insert it into your MySQL database.

Makes sense to insert SQL code into the MySQL database, indeed.

I didn't know what it was at the time. I'm still a little confused, actually. Is the MySQL database a separate file, or not? And what sort of file is it?

[Jaan]

mysql database isnt a file
it's a database.. it's like server..

[Xav]

OOHHHH... I still don't get a couple of things. Presumably they're already made, as web hosting providers offer a set amount of databases. So why do you need to create them using sql_create_database(), if they're already there?

[Jaan]

you can use this function also if you have permission..
BUT
usually you are not permitted to do it..
so..
you must create databases in your Cpanel or phpMyAdmin

Ok. I see now.

[Jaan]

hmm.. you gave me an idea.. i'll create some tutorials about that
