OK i have a site that takes applications and I want for the users to be able to login and a create, and edit (profiles). Where is the best place to get a quick course on database design or maybe I can enlist the help of one of you pro's on here. My website is at <a href="http://onlinetruckdrivingjobs.com">Online Truck Driving Jobs</a> and all help is appreciated....
Here is a quick link I found to display a database... http://www.spoono.com/php/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=20 A search on Y or G should produce many tutorials. It's not hard at all with PHP, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin. Nice looking site by the way, but it appears to already have database usage unless all the listings are hard coded??? I gotta leave now, but PM me if you need any help.
I think you should list this post in Databasest threads. There would be more people to read your post and help you with it. BTW, designing database can be said easy but also complicated depends on what data to be saved. if it's only user's information the minimum fields you should have are : user's login/authentication fields (username (unique - or you may use email in replace of username), password, email, hint and answer to retrieve new password as confirmation) user's profile information ( user's first, middle and last name, address, city, state, zip and phone, etc)
