Dynamic web pages
Posted by: DIL on 26 September 2005
Anyone out there suggest where to start with creating dynamic web pages ?
I've been hard coding html on and off since the web first became widely accessible in around 1995 (I work at a uni.). I'm now keen to try setting up a dynamic web site. This is for my own interest rather than at work; we've just moved onto a uni.-wide content management system.
What I am wanting is to create a web-accessible database of my vinyl and CD's. Title, artist, track listing and times, cover graphics, year released, year bought, 'rating' etc. Default searches, say alphabetical, but can be refined with any other criteria...
I know I could probably buy some commercial software to do this, but that's not the point. Any suggestions as to how (Which technologies, ASP, PHP, etc.) what boxes I need to tick as far as hosting (MySQL ?) and links to 'how to' (Maybe with sample code) as well as books.
Thanks.
