Sorry, I wasn't ignoring your previous post, I just wanted to make sure when
you actually saw what I was working on that it definitely couldn't be done in
Javascript. Having browsed the site host's web site, I have found that they
support MySQL and phpMyAdmin, as well as Joomla content management. It also
supports Perl and Python CGI script, Server Side Includes and PHP scripting.
The host also offers some support for getting started with these scripting
languages, including links to basic tutorials (which I will be investigating
further). Hopefully this information is useful for answering your question,
and you can let me know which option to persue to get started on this project
(if I don't find it out for myself before I hear back from you). Thanks again
for all your help.
Just for your reference, the site I am working on is hosted by
http://www.hypermart.net
Javascript is client side, in other words it executes in your browser.
You can code in ASP using Javascript as server side language, but its
not as common as using VBScript with ASP... anyway, enough of my
ramblings... you need to learn PHP and MySQL, so grab yourself a book by
David Powers, he is the resident expert around these parts, and has
published the best books on this subject. He has ones that deal with
Dreamweaver and PHP and MySQL and will get you up and running in no time
at all.
I am an ASP and MSSQL man, but the theory is the same, its just the
implementation that is different. What you want to do isn't rocket
science, but having a firm understanding of the basics will help you
more than anything.
