Hi,
I was given a project by my company where I had to build employee database and a simple web page where if one searches with the name of employee,the details of that employee are displayed. I installed EasyPHP and created database in MySQL. I am also able to access the localhost page. This is where I get stuck: how to connect MySQL db to the web page and then be able to search the employee records by their name on the web page? Also how can I do the same with MS Access?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanx
