http://www.tripod.lycos.co.uk/myaccount/freehosting worked for me. I could ftp all the webpages that I wrote on my own computer, but I could NOT upload a text file into the database. Because I couldn't import the data, I had to enter it record by record. Since I was only trying to see how MySQL and PHP work, this service was good enough for me to try and learn. That's about all I expected to get for free anyway

Please remove lycos, they have to be the worst host that have ever existed.
If your visitors to your site don't have their resolution at minimum 1024 X 768, they are NOT going to enjoy an ad frame that takes up ONE THIRD of the screen (literally)
However, if you don't mind this and are really desperate for PHP and MySQL, then it's your choice

I've had my site hosted there for about 5 years now. I've had a couple of problems, where my site and all my files dissapeared for a few days, but they were back with no problems after sending a few frantic emails. Customer support pretty much sucks. You get the stanard "refer to online help" which is so confusing it can drive you mad. Over all, I'm still a pretty basic webmaster, so it's easy to use file manager has been good for me. With as little as $4.95 a month, you get to ditch the pop ups and ads on your site. The pop ups if not will drive you mad. It's not one per page, but more like 3 minimum.
They have a new plan where you can get a domain name and be hosted there, which I'm trying with a different account. I am happy with it so far, except their subdomains. You can link to your subdomain, except it shows in your browser window as the TRIPOD name, instead of your real subdomain. Otherwise it's still your basic tripod file structure which is great for me.
Anyone who has any questions about their service, feel free to let me know.
