I want to create a login system with PHP.  
You enter your name and password then it takes you to a seperate page.  
I would think it would require 3 tables or rows in the MYsql database name, password, link.  
I know absolutuly nothing about MYsql. So, I was wondering if someone knows of a tutorial explaining how MYsql databases work, and how to make them interact with PHP. I read a few on various sites, but they basicilly give you SQL to exacute, then give you code to put on a .PHP file. I can understand the PHP part of it, but really am stuck when it comes to understand how MYsql organizes its data.  
Also,  
is there a command similiar to the javascrip location.href="" in PHP?  
Thanks!
