In this example we will create a database to store our news items which we will be able to add via an admin form which the webmaster will enter information . we will then display this info on our page , displayed by newest items .

Have you ever wanted to create a dynamic news manager? Instead of updating those html files, then uploading everytime you want to add some news? In this tutorial we are going to create something which will hopefully make news publishing more effecient. Make sure you have access to php and mysql.
