PHP and mySQL

[bobocheez]

Ok so I have me a bux.to clone and no knowledge of....well pretty much anything
but, there are two files:
config.php, which I must edit with my mySQL database details and
data.php, which I must edit wity my site information

Usually I would just mess around with the code, but I don't want to screw this one up.

o and, for config.php:
$dhost = "localhost"; //usually localhost, or ip
$dusername = "buxto_buxuser"; // database user
$dpassword = "buxpass"; // database pass
$ddatabase = "buxto_buxto"; // database name

Do I create one database, or two -- one for regural users and one for me?

If there's anything else on config.php that I need to edit let me know and don't forget about data.php........if anyone just happens to know what I'm talking about

You create one database and assign one user to it.

ok so then, can more than 5 people sign up?

If you are using databases to create a user sign-in/up page, you do not actually give those users access to a database, but use your database to store the users. You should have one database that you have access to, and use it to organize the users.

I.E.

id User Pass Email
-|-|-----|----|--
-|-|-----|----|--
-|-|-----|----|--
-|-|-----|----|--

You manage your users in a database like that... adding the registered user name and pass.

Things to keep in mind:

-ENCRYPT password, you should not be able to see the text of the pass they entered


If you have the same information as your users, then one database will do; if you have other information, then there is nothing wrong with making a separate db to store that information.

I hope that is what you were asking, I was a little confused to be honest.
