== Creating a Query ==
== Creating a Query ==


Once a connection to a database has been made, you will inevetably want to perform a database query. To create a query on the selected database, we use the mysql_query() function. If you use a SELECT query, then the data returned from that query will be passed to the mysql_query() function, which will in turn return it to a variable which you can specify. In the following example, two queries are made, the first does not return any data, and the second does.
