all i did is make a database.

can someone provide me a step by step to get this done?

 

people keep pointing me to a post but it is confusing me ever more.

At first you setup the MySQL root password as explained here. After you did that you get a copy of phpMyAdmin and install it to your webspace as the documents tell you. With that "tool" MySQL administration can't be easier...

1.20] I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".

To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.

 

Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL" or something similar.

Well then do what the docs tell you and install the php-mysql package. o_O
