Making some good headway. First, set up XAMPP to run on my machine. Bought the book you recommended and reading through - really great examples and clear language thats on my level (going through the PHP introduction).

Starting with the MySQL stuff, though, and using XAMPP I have no clue how to access my database outside of PHP - to setup/add initial data. Any simple tips (ie, "run this program," or "access it through this application doing___") to get me started would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance. =D
