I would like to add tables to my vB database via another page on my vB site. I am looking also, to pull existing data from the database.

Can someone please tell me how to do this. I know ASP but do not have root access to install anything extra. With a little push I am sure I can get into php.

So, can someone please tell me how to connect to the vB database in a php page?

You can assign PMA the same permissions as any other PHP-based script like vB.

May I suggest some tutorials.
codewalkers.com
dreamincode.net
phpdeveloper.org

These are some nice sites that discuss database interactions and code. Reading up on some of the useful tutorials will help you to understand how to interact with the database, how to insert data, pull data, edit data and more.

Also check out this website
This is a very nice introductory tutorial, this actually got me into php and mysql many years ago.

Good Luck!

Flamers = people who harrass other people, trolls = people who post for the sake of irritating the community by just not leaving.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
