First I would like to say that I have had PHP experience but not enough to say I am a PHP developer. I want to use PHP to build a site that uses MySQL, I am building it from scratch so I don't know where to start, should I start with PHP and design a database around my code, or should I designs the db and design the site are the db. is it just a matter of preference or is there a recommended way to do this?

I think while Richard and Tony are duking it out, maybe you could explain a little more about this application. How big do you think it will be. How much acitivity, etc? That would probably help us point you in the right direction.

Right now I just have 1 application, with a small account in it, it's about 1,000 records... But I plan on marketing the program which would (Hopefully) increase the user base and total records. I could see having 20-30 customers with all with around 1,000 to 30,000+ names in the database. At least that's what I'm hoping for. We'll see how the marketing goes! :) -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
