php and mysql scripts question

Hi, i am totally new to php and mysql and was wondering whether the mysql database comes already prepared when you choose a script that uses mysql,or will it need to be created from scratch.

I have been looking at classified ads scripts and the best ones seem to use php and mysql.

thanx

they ussually either have an installation script which will populate the database or they will provide you with an sql file (a text file with a .sql extension) so that you can populate it yourself

most decent scripts will come with installation directions to help you.

You need to setup the database yourself, but all the information about tables/rows/etc. shall be provided for you. What script are you thinking of, I shall give you another opinion.

Ok, well let me know if you do find any good ones (never looked into it myself).
