depend on ya theme tho. Bt u can overite it with Css

My wp theme is parabola. Please I need the CSS code to do that

Connecting to a back-end database like Mysql is easy.

Prerequisite:
Local server eg: Xampp, Wamp, Lamp, Mamp,
These local servers includes Apache, Mysql, php and perl(Xampp)

If you are on a windows machine I recommend Xampp. And you can connect to your database from dreamweaver from sites.

Packaged/shipped with Xampp is a web application that execute mysql statements called Phpmyadmin.

For a better understanding in installing Xampp read this post I created

Now if you want to connect your php script to a database, for best practises, its best to have a database connection file eg connect.php in your includes folder in your web root directory.
A simple database connection file will have the following lines of code:

<?php
//define database constants
define("DB_HOST", "localhost"; //this is your database host
define("DB_NAME", "my-db"; // your database you want to connect to
define("DB_USER", "root"; //database user
define("DB_PASS", "my-password"; // your database password

// now the connection

$con = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS); //$con is the connection variable
$db = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $con) // the database you wish to use
//check if connection is successful
if(!$con) {
die("Error establishing connection" .mysql_error());
}
if(!$db) {
die("Database Selection failed".mysql_error());
}
mysql_close($con);

?>
Now this is a depreciated style and will be removed in future here's another way using mysqli

<?php
<?php
//define database constants
define("DB_HOST", "localhost"; //this is your database host
define("DB_NAME", "my-db"; // your database you want to connect to
define("DB_USER", "root"; //database user
define("DB_PASS", "my-password"; // your database password

//connection
$conn = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USER,
DB_PASS);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

?>

And another style PDO

database host
define("DB_NAME", "my-db" ; // your database you
want to connect to
define("DB_USER", "root" ; //database user
define("DB_PASS", "my-password" ; // your

if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
?>
