Creating an AJAX and jQuery blog and connecting to mysql database

Hi, I’m studying at university and have to develop a working blog that uses AJax with jQuery. Is there any documentation out there to help me.

Cheers

Hey Steve,

That’s quite some project! Is there a specific server-side language you’re expected to use? You won’t be able to connect to a DB with just jQuery.

Hi, sorry for late reply. Yes, php

OK, Steve, here’s how we will help. Give us the features of the blog, then we’ll give you hints about what kinds of knowledge you’ll need to look up for that feature. As it stands, it is too vague.

What experience do you have with php already? What database are you using – MySQL?

Hi Steven,

I’m looking at including an image, heading 1, heading 2, date and message.

I don’t have too much knowledge on PHP but have worked with it on some earlier projects. Very simple wordpress sites.

I am using MySQL for the database.

Cheers

Create fields in your html page that will accept user input into “image,” “heading1,” “heading2,” “message.” I assume date will be automatically generated.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your help so far but I’m going to have to put it on hold for a few weeks. I will start another thread once I’m a little more ready and able to respond quicker.

Thanks again and hopefully chat soon.

Cheers
Steve
