I am new to using MySQL, since I just got it to work with the help of somebody from a different Mac-focused forum today. I want to create a guestbook and require visitors of my site to log in to be able to upload things to my website. The trouble that I am encountering is that I typed up the php code to make and delete databases and one to make a table, but when I tell it to connect through the root user, for testing on my Mac, and open the file in Safari there is nothing, that my book tell me to expect (through illustrations), because the page is blank. I have installed the GUI tools from the MySQL site, which has made things a bit more simple, but I still cannot figure how to give the users permission to do this stuff, because I created another user and still no results of what I expected to see, just a black page instead of fields to fill in. I tried to download PHPMyadmin that I read about on another thread, but the installation instructions were not that clear, mainly because the only tar package was what the stuff came in. Is there anything else that I can use to easy control over MySQL besides the GUI tools and PHPMyadmin (preferably something that does not require compiling)?
