php/MySQL Database Software

AndyD_OHD

HI All,

I want to build a database for a website I am assisting with but I don't have the experience to build one so I wondered whether anyone has any experience with software for this purpose? I would like to be able to generate a page so that others can upload details for cataloguing purposes. I had a look at reviews for dbQwikSite but found a few really bad ones. Could anyone advise or even freelance?

Try advertising on scriptlance.com or similar. Some 9 year old from India who lives in a pot noodle carton will probably knock a fully fledged Amazon style site for $5. Someone else can probably recommend software that does it for you, I'm the type who makes stuff from scratch. If its just a DB and a few pages for people to submit details, its probably just a few hours work to get the basics in, and then jazz it up with graphics etc.

For PHP and MySQL, I really wouldn't look any further than phpMyAdmin.

You can download from phpmyadmin.net

It's free and open source, and is generally included in web hosting packages by default.

I'm only starting to play with php and learning it, so thus is my dilemma. I did think of posting on a freelancing site but wondered whethernit would be possible with a wysiwyg-style software package. i have ben scouring the web and founf bdQwik and PHPMagicPlus, but not really sure which to go for, if any. Wondered whether anyone had any familiarity with anything like this...?
