I am trying to create website similar to ones that credit card companies use to provide their clients with transaction history of their credit cards. What I have seen is that they uses template pages and call the results from a database. When going to the different template pages would the variables carryover from the login page to the subsequent pages or how would that work? Would MySQL be powerful enough to support something like this? Please give me your thoughts. Ben

It's more than capable, depending on your needs. Do you want to support hundreds or thousands of simultaneous users? MySQL might not be your best bet. Dozens-hundreds, yes. The MySQL question is unrelated to the 'variables' carryover - that has to do with the concept of sessions. php.net/sessions should have more info, although that mechanism isn't the only way of doing it. :) If you're looking to do something commercial, and need support, my company would be happy to discuss your requirements in more detail and advise/consult/develop as necessary (as I'm sure others on the list would too). If you're looking for a personal site, or learning, or a proof of concept, there are many good code examples and tutorials at places like zend.com and phpbuilder.com. (and weberdev.com if memory servers, right boaz?) :) Good luck. :) Michael Kimsal 734-480-9961
