    Hi... I am new to this community... I am new to PHP... I was doing some basic websites with HTML,CSS,Javascript. I have to do a course registration web form for my department. I need help from you guys....

    My question :

    I host the website from my Univesity web server. I use filezilla and do updates for the website.... If I use a DB for the form which I am planning to design, Should I install the DB server on the web server?

    If you are hosting it on your University's web server, they should have a DB server, hopefully mysql to make your life easy. Besides, I don't think they will let you install something on their web servers, you're just a student.

    The best action is to ask them if they have one.

    Yes, as said here, you need a DB, but I am sure your U wont give you a full database to create your tables, ask them if you could create a DB for your project, or you could use files like TXT to save your information..
