Ok, so after reading this I sorta understand, but not totally...

In database-driven applications, three different players produce the final output of the web page you view with your client: the web server, the scripting language (PHP), and the database back end (MySQL). When the client browser requests a page from your web site, the following steps occur

why do you post that shit
no one is going to take the time to read it
at least i'm not

I had a nice long insulting paragraph all typed out. But on second thought, the time I've been spending lately focusing on clearing out my agressions, and trying to better myself would be wasted if I were to let myself slip on something as silly as your comment.

Do us both a favor. Take whatever bitchyness it is that caused you to make a totally unconstructive post towards someone whom you're already on shakey ground with and direct it else where. You absolutely have the option of simply skipping over my posts. If it's too much of a bother for you to scroll with your mouse wheel past my innane gibberish of code'ing, then thats you're hang up.

I've recieved quite a bit of constructive help via both emails, instant messages, and phone calls regarding my website problems. As, if you knew what were going on in my posts was; you'd understand I'm actually making ground on learning this stuff.

So regardless of whether you find it vapid or simply non-whimsical for your reading pleasure, as stated; pass on by.

I wish that I had more input on this, unforutnately my extent of knowledge with php is that which I learned while working with phpnuke. I understand that you are just looking for a simple website, so I am not sure if you want to work with something as indepth as a full portal.

Things are interesting when it comes to coding them yourself, being that I know you are hands on with things, it might be easier if you see the code in action, or at least get a feel for how everything is set up.

You can check out both:

PHP Nuke

or

XOOPS

For the real coders out there:

Please don't flame me, I am not saying that he *should* use the portal, just that it might be helpful when it comes to learning code. You can always backwards engineer what is already there to help you learn things quicker. =)

I have a few php and sql books I can look through. I will try to get you more information. =)

P.S. I took the time to read it, so that throw that theory right out the window! =P

I appreciate you taking the time to look man, thanks. Unfortunately, I'm being told, "if you don't know how to do it, make it happen anyhow." By the head people at work. But they don't understand that it very well might take sending me to a class to learn this stuff. An aussie friend of mine suggesting looking for tutorial programs on the internet, since thats how he learned, but all the sites he used while learning have been closed down since then.

But anyhow, again, I appreciate the effort man =) This stuff is just beyond me. I might just break down and find someone else's php pages to steal. Not sure how to steal the code of php since you can't see their server side pages, but I'll figure out something.

And btw, happen to know any decently priced places in Las Colinas for 1 bedrooms? After my lease is up, I'm probably moving to the 114 irving 635 Las Colinas area.

Hrmm...not sure about places around Las Colinas that are decently priced. The place that Brian and I had was freakin expensive (as are most of the places around there). My lease is up at the end of Jan. so I might be looking for a place around then, have not decided exactly where. I want to try to stay close to work, just depends on how everything unfolds I guess.

I am working on learning a bit of php and mysql in my down time at work. I will see if I can come up with any pages that will do what you are looking to do. PHP is where it's at right now, but it's crazy to try to figure out!

I will def let you know how that pans out. =)
