Hi Janine,

Since you are using xampp server, I'll assume your database is MySQL. PHP can connect to a mysql database in a pretty simple way. What you need to have is your login details of your xampp server. Supply this details to a function called mysql_connect which will connect you mysql database. 

Download the code below and edit to a php file edit as required and run it. you are now connected to a mysql database. You can then issue commands to the database.

Thanks,
