To use PHP, copy the file into the 'public_html' directory in your UNIX home directory (S: drive on Windows) - (if the 'public_html' directory is not there, you need to create it!!), then go to:

http://student.computing.dcu.ie/~<your-username>/hello_world.php
e.g. http://student.computing.dcu.ie/~jblogs-cais4/hello_world.php

• This first script is self-explanatory:

  hello_world.php - Source Code  [Cut n'Paste this text into a file called 'hello_world.php']




• The next script connects to the "test" database on the Host "student.computing.dcu.ie" with the username "phpuser" and password "phppass":

  mysql.php - Source Code  [Cut n'Paste this text into a file called 'mysql.php']

  Replace these values with your own MySQL account details.
