Summary
While it would be interesting to delve into the details of the content-submissionsystem described above, you should already have all the skills necessary to
build it yourself. Want to let users rate the jokes on the site? How about
letting joke authors make changes to their jokes, but requiring an administrator
to approve the changes before they go live on the site? The power and complexity
of the system is limited only by your imagination.At this point, you should be equipped with all the basic skills and
concepts you need to build your very own database-driven Website. In the rest
of this book, I'll cover more advanced topics that will help optimize your
site's performance. Oh, and of course we'll explore more exciting features
of PHP and MySQL.In "MySQL Administration", we'll take a step away
from our joke database and have a close-up look at MySQL server maintenance
and administration. We'll learn how to make backups of our database (a critical
task for any Web-based company!), administer MySQL users and their passwords,
and log into a MySQL server if you've forgotten your password.
