The PHP/MySQL combo was what I was thinking about. But I'm having hell trying
to get the damn thing to work together. The PHP manual that is installed with
the software is next to useless. Oh yes, I know the manual's great (so no
flames, please <G>), but only if you already know what you're doing, I don't.
It would help, if I could find a tutorial for PHP/MySQL that I could d/l for
free (Wife has all the money. <G>). One that is simple with good examples
for beginners. Also a mailing list for PHP beginners would help. I don't
think my (many) questions on PHP would be good to ask here.
Thanks
