When you create a table, what do you put in the "fields" section of the form?

you use phpmyadmin?
Its the number of columns you think you need. Don't worry, if you need more columns after it, you can still add them

i dont understand phpmyadmin? i am really bad at this :-/

wait i do have phpmyadmin. I just dont know what the table settings should be. If it helps l am trying to do phpcalendar

If you use a downloaded script normally you don't have to add the tables by yourself.
Just fill in the properties of the database (username, databasename, password etc), and move on to the install script. See the readme of the script you downloaded for specific instructions

it asks me for the table name in the config.php file so what do i put there then? whatever i want the table to be called?
