MySQL

[Dpgamer]

This is what I want to do:

Create A Multiple User Login System
Create a file submission system
Display the files that have been submitted by a user on the users personal page
Organize this so that it looks professional

Is MySQL the best tool for the job to do what I need? If so how deep of an understanding of MySQL would I need? If anyone could point out educational materials that will aid in my further understanding of MySQL so that I can do what I want.

-Thank You

MySQL is a database engine. It can store and retrieve data. How you use it is up to you.

Commonly, MySQL is paired with PHP for use on a web server. You program in PHP to interact with the MySQL engine to do what you want.

With that said, I think MySQL could greatly make easier your task. It could be done with out MySQL but it would not be as easy or as expandable.

As for materials, a little work with google with search terms like "mysql tutorial" or "php mysql tutorial" would help. There are also plenty of books on the subject. If you are just beginning, I liked the PHP & MySQL for Dummies book.
