Progressive Decisions

I have decided that I will add just a few recipes to the database to start with. Then I will try and get the database linked to the php files and get that working before I enter too much data. I think that if I try to get all the data in there at once I may be confusing myself and also making it more difficult to work out the connection process. I have yet to really work through the chapter on 'Using PHP and MySQL' and don't want to create something bigger than I can handle before I master the basics.
