Can anyone give me an example of using web code to retrieve data from a sql table, or really any server side data?

Question

I'm reading up and I'm sure I will figure this out soon enough, just looking for a reason to start a discussion about code.

I have a database set up to hold my values, I want to use php or JavaScript (probably both).

Lets say var uGotASave = false starts the intro story instead of normal gameplay, and I want it to be true after you have played the intro/tutorial

How do I access this on my database? I know how to enter the sql server side, but not getting how you access that from html/css/js/php?

Answer 1

Okay then, some time this week lol.
My database is freemium, can't use outer tools with it so I will need to learn a few more things.
Anyone know of a good tutorial for server-side scripts and code?

Answer 2

So I am gonna crack this today. Watch out, web. Lmao. Google time
