It all depends on what the needs for your site(s) are. Typically, you use database driven web sites as a means of storing data separate from the layout and style of your web site. The advantage of this is that you can just update your data in the database without affecting the layout and style of your web site. Many developers dynamically serve the content from a database into the websites using PHP. This is extremely powerful if you have content which needs to be represented within a table or if content changes on a regular basis.
There are many books and web articles on this subject. I hope this helps... my 2 cents... ----- Original Message ----- From: "GENESiS DESiGNS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 5:22 AM Subject: [PHP] Question about database-driven web sites. > Hello, > > What will a database-driven web site do for?
