[plug] Help in how to create Linux database driven Web pages

Have a look here Phil.

It may or may not suit your needs and will save a huge amount of effort
if you 
ever need to port it somewhere else. (ie. iSeries, Unix, Windows)

Remember to concatenate the string if it has been wrapped.

Oh, I forgot to mention. You will not have to write code either.

Cheers,

Subject: [plug] Help in how to create Linux database driven Web pages


I am trying to do everything, I used to do in Windows, in Linux.  I have
all my office apps work being done now in OpenOffice.  I use evolution
for mail, and mozilla to replace Iexplorer and Outlook.  Everything
Linux works great.

The next step in my windows to Linux conversion is learning how to
create web pages fed by a database.  I want to display inventory data
held in my database, on a web page.  I would like to use MySQL, so I can
keep it all in linux. Initially I want to create it locally, and then
learn Apache and PHP

Can anyone recommend some HowTo's to start learning how to create
database driven web pages?

I am a newbie when it comes to Linux webpage development.  I have done
some windows stuff with Photoshop and Dreamweaver and took an HTML 4.0
course so I understand HTML.  I planned to use Gimp and Bluefish (or
some other app if you have any suggestions).
