How does one Web Server?

[TheNuzziNuzz]

I got xampp running with SQL and Apache. It works, but I don't know how to implement it,

 

I can make websites with html, and am plenty famillier with that but...

 

I wan't to be to enter data into the website and have it stay there. Simply a number. Under "US" I wan't to enter the number 100, then have that number be "Posted" there until I change it. Like become part of the website.

 

Don't care about "Security" Just need a basic way of storing and displaying info.

Could you please be a bit more clear and maybe upload screenshots.

Is it about learning PHP or Javascript (or another web programming language) to add interactions between your SQL database and your HTML website?

I wan't to create a website that can store and display information. I have an SQL server. How could I use Java Script to display information in an SQL database?

As far as i know you cannot use JavaScript and will insteed need a PHP server.

My apache server acts as one. I have used PHP in the past, but just code snippets. I don't know anything about language, off to edumacations.

Just make sure to use mysqli on newer versions of php.

Javascript variants (eg Node.js...) can act as a client-server language, more powerful than PHP7 these days. But I do not recommand this for a beginner as PHP is really easier to learn.

 

You can find tutorials to learn PHP, it's not that complicated as it integrates very well into HTML. Maybe this will help, otherwise search Google for a "how to make a website in PHP" A to Z tutorial.
