I appreciate the excellent response I got recently
on my query regarding server addressing, and that
information is filed away for when I will need it.

I am ready to venture some baby steps in the
realm of server-side programming. It seems
that PHP/mySQL is quite the thing to learn
these days. What I'd like to do, is throw
together an extremely simple database
application using these technologies. The
word is 'simple' - just so it WORKS and
provides a hands-on demonstration of
the rudimentary procedures.

Can anybody briefly outline the steps
to make such a thing happen? This would
include whatever is needful to activate PHP
and mySQL within the Xitami server, what
to place in which directory, and what magic
words to enter at which location to make the
whole shebang fire up. (Perhaps there are
downloadable scripts online somewhere that
I can just plug-n-play?)

At any rate, feedback would be
greatly appreciated.
