Thanks cl58tools. I will check back periodically.

Thanks Geoff. I am having problems re-registering. I received this email response twice: Your hosting account at HelioHost has encountered an error during installation. The error is: (blank) Don't know if I didn't wait long enough or something else? I was using the exact same everything from the first registration. Maybe I will wait another couple days and re-register using all new user name, domain name, password and HelioNet user name, however, I still need to use my same email address.

Thanks Geoff. I am in process of deleting my Johnny account and will sign up later on Stevie after the waiting period.

Thanks for the script Geoff. This will all keep me going for a while. :-)

That would be great Geoff. Thanks. And thanks again Krydos.

Oops. I think I didn't finish. So if I understand, the pages that the public would view along with supporting files/folders would go in the public_html folder? Is that correct? Where I am less certain is how do I get my local MySQL database(s) uploaded to be used/queried by those publicly visible web/query pages. Since I originally posted, somebody mentioned to me that I need to dump the tables(s) locally to an .SQL file and upload those using one of the SQL management tools in cPanel or similar depending on the web hosting site. I think they said I need to first create a database on the web hosting site. Then maybe I link the uploaded table(s) to the database? Is that somewhat correct? If yes, where do I upload the .SQL file to? I think I'm close but probably off a bit. Sorry, I'm still learning ... again. Thanks Krydos. I think our posts crossed. I think I have enough now to take me a bit further. Thanks Krydos. I think our posts crossed. I think I have enough now to take me a bit further.

Thanks for responding Geoff. Do I have to go through the signup process again to switch to Stevie? I don't see any control to do it through my cPanel. For now, I think all I need is PHP and MySQL. This is mainly just for learning purposes for now. I'll try to make this short, but pardon me if I ramble on a bit too much. My long-term goal theoretically on a regular basis (daily, weekly or otherwise) is to be able to upload databases from local computers (either mine or clients) which are updated locally and then uploaded to the web servers so the data can be searched and viewed by the public in read-only mode, such as public records, etc. I have installed on my local computer PHP, MySQL and Zend Server CE. I have now figured out MySQL enough to do the basics such as connecting, disconnecting, creating databases, creating tables, adding, editing, dropping, etc. In the process I created numerous test databases/tables. I then located a nice program that will generate the PHP user interface (web pages) to query the database(s) along with numerous other database management tasks. I am currently in the 30 day trial period. It is a pretty nice software. You can check them out at SQL Maestro if you wish. I am now up and able to run these custom PHP MySQL query pages locally through the Zend Server CE. Now I want to transfer my mini-masterpiece to the actual web using what I am already running locally. This is mainly for practice/learning purposes at this point. Allowing or disallowing functions such as whether a user can view, add, edit, delete records and/or specific fields are set prior to generating the PHP query page(s). I hope that wasn't too confusing. :-) Thanks in advance. Oh, and also, the PHP pages (i.e., the web pages that the public would view/use to query the databases) that are generated include numerous supporting files/folders which I assume those would all be uploaded to the public_html folder.

I am totally new to PHP and MySQL. I have two questions. 1) From a previous post, I understand Johnny is down. Is that temporary? I can't seem to get to my home page. 2) My goal is to run PHP & MySQL from my own database for testing purposes for now. I want to upload the query code and database(s) directly without using the built-in features. Can that be done on this website? If so, where do I upload them to? I would assume the "public_html" folder. Is that correct? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Richard
