a non-profit i volunteered to do some designing for decided they want a searchable contact database, which is beyond my html/css experience. i know it would require php, perl, .net or something, and i'd prefer to use php as it's conveniently bundled with wamp this is turning out to be harder than i had initially anticipated... basically, i just need a table with name, number, email, address, whatever. then some forms to fetch the info. even google isn't helping me here. anyone know of a good tutorial to look for?
my apologies, the hour is late (or early, depending on your point of view). i've got the basic idea of tables and such; my problem sql-wise was actually with sqLite (can't get anything other than 'object not found' to show up). rather, most of the tutorials that i've found either don't go into enough detail or assume the audience is well past such steps. i guess i was mostly wondering if there was anything specifically needed to know to have a single table of 5-7 columns and have 5-7 different spots a user could enter info into and search for entries from one or more of those forms at once... or a single text area that'll search everything. bah.
