The coding of Wikipedia relies heavily on PHP and MySQL with almost everything but the images in a MySQL database. The locations of the images are in the database. So yes, in a way, Wikipedia is a database. However a database is a type of software that stores data, while Wikipedia is a wiki, a collaborative editing site.
It depends what Database you are using. I personally use MySQL so will explain how you would do it using MySQL. You would have to create the MySQL database. I would store the image URL rather than the actual image. Then call it using PHP and a MySQL query. For Example: $sql = "SELECT * FROM Images WHERE Img_Name = 'img1'"; $query = mysql_query($sql); $array = mysql_fetch_array(query); then you would call it into HTML like so:
The MySQL command is "CREATE DATABASE [dbname]" with "[dbname]" replaced with your desired database name.
Working with mySQL databases: <?php // Connects to the database mysql_connect(servername,username,password); // Inserts into a database mysql_query(INSERT INTO table(cat1, cat2, cat3) VALUES(one,two,three)); ?>
MYSQL database
MyISAM is the default table engine in the MySQL database.
WAMP stands for Windows Apache Mysql PHP. Mysql is the default database in WAMP
Wikipedia uses MySQL as its database.
You have several options: * copy the database files from mysql/data/<database_name> to a new mysql Installation * use mysqldump utility to export the data from your database and load it into the new mysql installation * setup replication
The developer of the MySQL database software was MySQL AB, which was bought by Sun 2008 for one billion dollars. Oracle then acquire sun and hence MySQL and is currently responsible for the continuing development.
Use: $todaysdate = date("d/m/y"); And then just send that to the MySQL database
