Uploading/publishing a database and php files

[compsci]

Hello all,

I've got a form that once submitted it stores the info to a database...it seems to work offline on my local testing server (i'm using dreamweaver by the way & EMS SQL Manager 2005 Lite for MySQL) now i want to publish it to my host....and i don't know how to do that !

I have normal html files and php files which i have published...but how do i publsh the database??? Is it as simple as just hitting publish like the way i usually do...or is there something else i should do before this? Does dreamweaver realise that the database is linked to the php files it needs to be published?

btw, my host supports php and mysql databases

Thanks all

The php function will call the database to store the info, so the problem won't be on your server linking the two files. If you've made the links right in the PHP file, it will call the right database.

I don't know about publishing a databse, I have never done it but I guess it's not that hard...

lol - Don't say its not hard, since i don't know where to start!

I first assumed i just upload it to my host but will everything stay together i.e php files.

The i thought maybe dreamweaver can publish everything together! That didn't work, so i don't know how to do it still!

Does anyone know any sites/tutorials that i can read to find out how to do this or learn this!
