Re: Newbie But Urgent

PHP and MySQL go together hand-in-hand to do what you want. ASP and PHP are equally easy for what you want, but PHP has way more features and 3rd party support, and runs on a stable platform... If you plan on sticking with Win98/2K, though, and never expect to move to a stable Un*x environment, it's a toss-up. Check out a few scripts and see how they look to you. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
