We will show you the way how to save JavaScript variables to a PHP/MySQL DataBase easily and securely. In my demonstration we’ll go through an example in which we want to store an array for my users. The users can be identified by their unique names.
Log in to to your cPanel hosting, find the “MySQL Databases” in the menu and create a new database. Create a user and add it to the database, checking all privileges. We’ll use this user to connect to the DB.
Open phpMyAdmin and you should see the new DB in the list. Select it and make a new table. In my example I’ll call it usertimes.
Set to auto increment (A_I) the primary key and make sure the name field is a unique value. We’ll store the current save date and the rest of the variables depends on your specifications. Save the settings when it’s done. My database is ready to receive input.
