Very basic mySql question

[royalelephant]

I'm going to start toying with mySql and php. My host has a mysql server for me to use.

What program do I use to access it?

And where do I install it to? (my server space? my PC?)

phpMyAdmin is an excellent front end interface, written in php for MySQL.

It'll help you with a lot of db work until you're more familiar.

You just install it on your webspace (in a protected directory)

Thanks Fast... a little followup

by protected directory, do you mean CHMOD to 755?

No, set a password on it. Don't allow public to access it, but be able to access it yourself.
