PHP Phpmyadmin Database App

The document provides instructions for creating a simple PHP database application with three PHP files (guestbook.php, addguestbook.php, viewguestbook.php) and one database table (GUESTBOOK). It involves setting up a database named GUESTBOOK_DB using phpMyAdmin, creating the PHP files, and inserting code to allow users to view, add, and delete records in the guestbook database table. The guestbook.php file contains a form to collect user input, addguestbook.php inserts records into the database, and viewguestbook.php displays all records from the table.
