How do you get mysql to connect to a website (created using html and css)

Question

I am a student who needs help with some coding. My assignment requires me to create a website that uses mysql database with xampp to store, retrieve and create reviews for games. Is there a way to connect mysql to my website WITHOUT USING PHP . Our assignment specifications dictate that we can't use php so I'm looking for alternatives. All help will be appreciated thank you.

Answer 1

Unless you are going to use the browsers IndexDB, you cant accomplish this. Html is a markup language and CSS are the styles rendered to HTML, they cant connect with MySQL db or any db in that regard. You need a server language to connect with the database. Other alternatives to php are Node JS, Python etc..
