Re: How to connect JavaScript and MySQL
Not directly. JavaScript is a client-side language and your MySQL database is going to be running on a server. You will communicate with MySQL with a server-side language such as PHP. JavaScript can be used client-side to validate and pre-process data before it is 'posted' to the server where a PHP script picks it up and handles the database transaction.

Re: How to connect JavaScript and MySQL
So you mean that I will have to add the layer of PHP between MySQL and JavaScript so as to create a bridge to facilitate communication between these two. Is PHP equally capable of showing eye-candy objects at the client side as JavaScript or Ajax?

Re: How to connect JavaScript and MySQL
You missing thpopint. JavaScript is a client-side scripting language and PHP is a server-side scripting language. Both play their part. Somethings are taken care of client-side and some server-side. In fact somethings can only be done at one end or the other. To get the benefits of AJAX you will need both a good understanding of JavaScript and the server-side language that it is effectively communicating with.
