RE: [PHP-DB] PHP: Good for articles?

Dan, I think it is a very powerful combination. PHP is easy to learn as is mySQL. They are both free and powerful. Question 2: Yes you can do about anything to a database with PHP including updating field data, adding field data, and even creating a new database from a web front end.

I am a freelance html web designer - and I am new at it. I have also learnt Javascript. I have a customer - a local newspaper - who wants me to update their site weekly with newspaper articles. I have been doing this in html. I recently changed ISP - and my new ISP allows me to run a MySQL database and PHP. I haven't used PHP before and I am now looking into it as a possiblity to dynamically create html pages that contain the articles sucked out of a SQL database. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can tell me if PHP + MySQL is a good setup / combination for this type of application. Another Question: Can users via PHP update field data in a MySQL database? I would really appreciate any comments. Please cc: your reply to dan@eskildsen.net It's snowing over here!
