Small Intro Game with SQL database

programming
1

we’ll here’s my project: im going to script a very simple and stupid flash game in my intro, which will store 5 variables: the time the user started the game, the time he ended, the number of boxes hit (purpose of the game), his name and location…
I’d like to use php/mySql to store highscores and display themm…

However I have absolutely no knowledge of php and mysql (btw my host is capable of using them, so all I have to do is start learning), would anyone mind either posting a link to good php/mysql tuts (i’ve found a few but they all start at ‘building tables’ and stuff, and I don’t understand quite what they are)

Anyway what’s the php code i should use to send/retrieve variables to my database ?

Hi,
This is about the best that I have found for PHP http://www.phpforflash.com/ and if you can afford the book, it tells all you really need to know about PHP and Flash
Just one thing, if you want to display the scores etc etc to a specific user, you could uses sharedObjects, but if you want to display the info as stated to all users than php/mySql is the way to go
