Connecting to a mySQL database

Hi

this is my firs post on these boards, I have One REALY big question that is was wanting to do in a program i am currently writing.

I want my program to be able to get the users information E.g. user number and password username then use this information to log into my web page and retreive information from my mySQL database. I want it to retreive a list of downloads that i update on my mySql database then add the information into like a list box or something so that users can pic which download they want then click download and it gets them for them.

this may not be possible but it is what i want to do so ANY help would be mega appreciated.

thanks

Your subject title is unacceptable. You can refer to the sticky thread at the top of this form for more information on how to post a question.

As far as your question, you have described what you want your program to do but not what problems you are having. Please describe your problem(s) and show code where necessary.

Thanks, and welcome to the Dev Shed community.
