new to mysql-need simple database

[2dollar]

I just add mysql to my account and try using Mysql-front, everything is ok and running.
Is there any simple to follow example database, so that I can start try how to use mysql.
Right now I have simple cgi script running that is design to keep a log of files upload to my server with filename, email id, size, time etc. this log is keep in one of the directory within my account. I want to make a database so that I can maintain the file and add the status on the record.
Any idea how I can do this?

You would need another script, either a Perl/CGI script or a PHP script to access the database and then make entries into tables you have created in your database. PHP is particularly well suited for this.

There are many free scripts that are written and available on sites like www.hotscripts.com , but I am not sure if there is a canned script that will do exactly what you want in the way you described it. I am no script writer, but if you are, it shouldn't be too difficult to get through most of it with the help of the people in the CGI or PHP Forums here.

Hope this helps.
