  6.         $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM messages ORDER BY id DESC");
  7.         $notes = '';
  8.         $left='';
  9.         $top='';
  10.         $zindex='';
  11.  
  12. while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
  13. {
  14.         list($left,$top,$zindex) = explode('x',$row['xyz']);
  15.         $notes.= '<div class="note '.$row['color'].'" style="left:'.$left.'px;top:'.$top.'px;z-index:'.$zindex.'">
  16.                 '.htmlspecialchars($row['text']).'
  17.                 <div class="author">'.htmlspecialchars($row['name']).'</div>
  18.                 <span class="data">'.$row['id'].'</span>

  6. die("0");
  7.  
  8. if(ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc'))
  9. {
  10.         $_POST['author']=stripslashes($_POST['author']);
  11.         $_POST['body']=stripslashes($_POST['body']);
  12. }
  13.         $author = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST['author']));
  14.         $body = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST['body']));
  15.         $color = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['color']);
  16.         $zindex = (int)$_POST['zindex'];
  17.  
  18. mysql_query('   INSERT INTO messages (text,name,color,xyz)
  19.                                 VALUES ("'.$body.'","'.$author.'","'.$color.'","0x0x'.$zindex.'")');
  20. if(mysql_affected_rows($link)==1)
  21. {

I figured out how to set up the session. Now the only part that confuses me is how exactly do i connect this to the mysql database? I've created a DB called notes, what tables do I create, what properties do I give them? Any clarification would be great. Thank you
