    G'day Programmers & Developers

    I have very little programming knowledge, so you may have to forgive me if my question is stupid or not asked correctly.

    What is the process, or how difficult is it, to set up a page of a website that reverts to information from either an excel file or a database.

    For example, I have a database/table that I keep updated on Excel, and I am thinking about putting the information up on a web page, however I dont want to update the database, and then have to re-enter the same information using HTML.

    I also find it easier to update an excel database, as opposed to updating a html doc.

    Any advice on this would be much appreciated as I dont even know the first place to start.

    Cheers

    Jake

    You need php, mysql and a knowledge of html...

    PHP: To Get The Information & Show It
    MYSQL: To Store The Data
    HTML: To Make It Look Good

    yeah I think the same what the guys told you. Btw, you might want to submit what you wrote here to elance or rentacoder I think you can get it made for cheap.

    If you want a static HTML page from an excel spreadsheet, ask someone to provide you with a php script to generate the HTML code from the spreadsheet.
    You will have to run it each time you change the spreadsheet and upload the new html page to your server.

    wamp is an easy to install solution to run all you need locally on your machine.
    odesk.com is another place to find developpers.
