Hello everyone, I have a project and I want to create an MVP: Minimum Viable Product.
And I have html pages ready but I don't know how to make them interact with databases, preferably MySQL.
I need the simplest way to be able to POST and GET data from a database, PHP or Rails.
IF there's just one simple tutorial or a small ebook to read, I'll be so thankful.
I have to the end of the month to create the MVP, about 20 days or so, and I really want to make that happen and I was gonna learn the whole Rails just to do that, but it'll take time you know!
Thanks for your time and I hope that you might help me :)
You can't make HTML directly interacting with database. You should create server-side application, which answer queries generated by HTML forms, JS queries, etc. I am PHP developer, I like this language, so I recommend you using it in your solution.
You can read about connecting PHP to MySQL database here:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_connect.asp
There you have basic information about handling data sent by POST:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp
If you have any troubles during develop proccess try Google before, then if didn't find answer ask specific and well described question on Stack Overflow.
Best luck!

I'm trying to make a dynamic timeline like facebook that can post pictures and descriptions with dates using mysql php for database. I put bootstrap because I like their design, and it's easy to use.
My problem is i don't know where to begin or where do I study it.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
Any suggestions?
What a generic question... this seems to me an impossible question to answer but maybe you need just some little advices to begin studying the right languages which you can use to achieve what you want.
First of all please provide an image of what you want to do and more important the fundamental languages that you have to know are HTML (obviously), CSS, Javascript and PHP for some server side script.
Talking specifically about your problem, here is where you can see some open examples with well commented code that allows you to understand everything.

Hello all and thanks for taking the time to view this.
I want to make a PHP application and I am about to start, but I want the front/backend to have as little page loads as possible, but I just don't know what to learn per se. I am torn as to whether I should learn Ajax, AngularJS, EmberJS, NodeJS, BackboneJS, etc?
I really want to know if AJAX is the same as the others I listed or not. I just want to use PHP as the engine to fetch data from an SQL DB and make the application's front/backend seamlessly.
I would like to be pointed in the "right" direction as to which technology to take.
you can use angularJS for faster loading of pages, learning path is first you have knowledge of ajax, then you can learn AngularJs.
here is a reason why you can use angularJs
http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/3-reasons-to-choose-angularjs-for-your-next-project--net-28457
and you are going to use PHP as Backend so it eliminate node.js from this list, AngularJs is best as you have describe your requirement, if you know bit of javascript learning cure for angularJs is easy.

I'm very confused about how to do a game work in a browser like monopoly, backgammon, etc. I have knowledge in html, css, php, and my question is what should I start to study/learn to make a game play with anothers on the web, I think what I should start to learn is AJAX, but what else? How can I do the game? How should I arrange the mysql database info for the game... any tips is appreciated. Thanks.
A basic requirement would certainly be Javascript. That's what the "J" in AJAX actually means. You basically need two things: the client-side code dealing with the user input, sending requests to the server, dealing with the responses, managing all the graphics; and the server-side system handling requests triggered by the client code and providing adequate responses. How you should "do the game" and "arrange" the MySQL database strictly depends on the game you want to create. Of course your request is too generic to be able to provide you any meaningful help.

I am working on a project that I need to let users to create pages on my server. however, I do not want to let users clutter my mysql database by storing the stuff in there so I cannot use mysql database for creating the pages.
I did research this topic and there seem to be a some sort of a plugin for WP that will allow virtual page creation.
is this possible using pure php WITHOUT the use of any database ?
It's possible, but wrong.
You can use php to write a html file to your web directory, sure. But that
solution is in no way cleaner or less cluttered than putting stuff in your
database, for a few reasons:
It's easier to have structured information in the database
It's a good thing conceptually to separate user data from your program
It's easier to control access to your database in a safe way, compared
to writing user data to the file system
"I really do not want to use mysql database" is not a good reason to give this
up. You might have a good reason, but it's not easy to guess what that is, which
makes suggesting alternatives very difficult.

This will be a total novices question, but I am looking for advice.
My apologies, In the post as I failed to mention that the database that I am working on is MySQL.
I know absolutely nothing in regards to any technologies that retrieve or get information from a database. The only 3 facts that I know is that it can be done by either PHP or HTML5, I should be able to pick it up and that I will make many mistakes
Could the community suggest which would be the better technology to learn and would any be able to suggest a starting point?
Yours in advance
Keith
In order to retrieve database information, you generally only need a database such as MySQL - and a client to perform your queries (fetching data from the database).
Your client could be anything, a commandline tool or a PHP script opening a connection to your database and performing the desired queries.
Fetching data alone will not get you very far unless you can display that information somewhere, or even provide access to it or (if desired) allow users to interact with it.
Basically, if you want to retrieve database information and show it on a website, your minimum requirements would be HTML, a database server, a database (preferably with some data to run some tests with) and some kind of scripting language (such as PHP).
There are numerous tutorials out there on how to make your first steps with this.
Here is one.
Start with PHP + MySQL. There are a lot of manuals and examples over the Internet. Google it.
