I have been working with PHP & MySQL for awhile now but never on a large scale site. I have a client who wants a database built for a record store that will have over 100,000 items. Can MySQL handle this? Also, can anyone suggest a good place to start for building high end PHP e-commerce sites in terms of security and performance, as well as backing up data... I am also going to recommend that they get a dedicated server with the following: PIII 800 512MB RAM 18 Gig SCSI Drive Is this sufficient? I know this is kind of a weird email, but the only things ive really done with PHP & MySQL is the kind of stuff you learn in Sam's 24 Hour book and Juli Meloni's Essentials. Thanks!!!
