Guest List using MySQL & PHP


Question

Hi!

I'm looking to create a list of people invited to a party using MySQL and PHP so that more than one person can manage the list. I'm not familiar at all with MySQL :( . What I basically need is an online form which takes data from a MySQL database, presenting it all in a form:

-Guest name

-Paid or not Paid

The person would then be able to change the status from Not Paid to Paid, using a checkbox or something.

I would really appreciate any help. I know it's probably easy for many people who know MySQL, but it can be a difficult task for most :p

Thanks!

I've only worked with HTML (very familiar) and PHP (noob is too good a term for me :D)

I understand how MySQL works in general as a database backend, it's just the commands I need to understand. I just need someone to point me in the right direction I guess.

The commands to use MySQL? Use PHPMyAdmin, just stick it on your web server and point it at your db server.

SQL is pretty straight forward.

And all of the functions to use MySQL in PHP can be found here, http://au.php.net/mysql. With examples. :)

    • Darwin Mach Kernel/ BSD. Which is both open source.
    • You mean BSD. The UNIX kernel is not open source.
    • I have been on Linux Mint full-time since Jan 2019. while there is a learning curve, it's worth it if you can make the switch, which I can. I mainly browse web, play some games (generally Lutris(Windows games), or through emulators (MAME/Mesen/Flycast etc) etc), and use a small amount of Windows programs (Foobar2000/7-zip/WinRAR/ImgBurn etc) etc. it's nice to dodge the bloat/BS of Windows as you can really feel Linux is all around faster, especially certain things. p.s. recently I enabled NTSync for games since Linux Mint recently offered the 6.14 kernel, which has NTSync support (it's not enabled by default though but you can enable it temporarily for your current boot of the OS through 'sudo modprobe ntsync')
    • A rotten article full of handwaving of anti-consumer practices. Aside from the fact that no, not even close to every piece of major software collects information about its users, ethical developers make such telemetry opt-in and allow it to be completely disabled. To use KDE Plasma as an example, you're shown a greeter upon first boot that gives users the option to send the developers telemetry, with the default being off and 'off' actually meaning off. Windows 10 has never offered that capability - only a promise that Microsoft will slurp up less of your data if you spend time tweaking 50 different privacy settings. There is still absolutely no way to completely opt out of sending Microsoft telemetry in any version of Windows 10 (or 11, naturally). Even using group policy in Enterprise editions only allows you to reduce telemetry to the bare minimum. Home-focused editions don't even get that option. Articles like this dismissing user privacy concerns as "FUD" are a part of the reason Microsoft felt confident enough to go so much further with Windows 11. I guess you get what you deserve in that respect. Personally, I finally made the move to Linux after 15 years or so of dabbling with it, but never really considering a permanent switch. Enjoy your bright, shiny Windows future. You asked for it, after all.
