I’ve struggled for a whole day with my problem can anyone help?

I’ve created a web site using MAMP and exported it with PHPmyadmin and then imported it into my GoDaddy account…

It said upload was successful but how do I get my web site to load up the database(web site)

Might be a basic question but I’m a beginner and I feel like I’m one small step from hosting my own web site

Any reason in particular you don’t allow us to name the database?

Having the database the same as the database username seems, slightly less secure then otherwise. It is a little silly of a limitation.

I mean I suppose I can understand you wanting to make it simpler to make databases, however if your manually migrating a database over it can be somewhat(very) annoying to not be able to chose it.

Thanks for the help! GoDaddy keeps changing things, so the first few steps need to be modified, but I managed to figure it out based on the rest of the steps.

Hunting endlessly for an answer to my DB access problem, I find this page… wow! Lots of good advice!! My site DB at GoDaddy was loaded several days ago & I’ve been in and out of their phpMyAdmin tool/etc in the hunt without much luck.

To quickly summarize, am a noob attempting to drive a new site with PHP (which I think is NOT the issue)… 2 attempts:

A) I can connect OK…
[$con=mysql_connect($host,$user,$pwd);]
but if (and only if) I don’t specify the table…
I then can’t read the DB data — my debug/echo result:
=========================
Connected: Resource id #3
SQL select * from ‘data’ where eMail=’DJ.Shave@gmail.com’ failed: []
=========================
ps: data/eMail fields are correct / in place

B) If I uncomment the code to select the table…
@ mysql_select_db($dbTable, $con)
or die (‘Selection of ‘.$dbTable.’ DB table
failed: ‘.mysql_error());
I get an access error…
=========================
Connected: Resource id #2
trying to select table data
Selection of data DB table failed:
Access denied for user ‘silentcriticdb’@'%’ to database ‘data’
=========================
Am assuming that the password (shown as “%”) works/etc, so this has to be permissions or some-such stupidity… am guessing that your comment (“Unfortunately, GoDaddy does not allow you to
connect remotely…”) might be the root?

Thanks in advance for any help you can share!
Don

Ok, thanks for the help. I am trying to upload the phpmyAdmin to the server (godaddy) and take it from there, seems like a bit more stuff I can do with that one (like select the fields that are linked etc for easier db updating et all)

Thansk again!

Sorry, I meant: “You’ll have to use inner joins to combine data from multiple tables in your SQL query”.

No this will only ensure data integrity between tables.

You’ll have to use inner joins to combine data from multiple tables.

ah, I used CASCADE and I guess that worked, thanks! it added them as Indexes in the structure pane (on players table).

Now I need to start plugging this into html/php pages and get the results out my next question would obviously be: do I need to do anything more than just return the field countryID and if they have a 1 it would return as Spain (as that is 1 in country table) or is there any more to it?

As you see, complete novice on this part. Once I get this down I can design the shit out of it!
