Wow, sounds nice!

I am just working on a basic system using MySQL databasing to manage a site for my GT2 series.. you can see the old version of the site in my link in my sig.. im working on making it easier to read in info. All the links on the right arent embedded in MySQL, they are just in their own html files... i am also thinking about making a protected directory on my new domain for the series admins to log in and be able to modify player stats.. i havent started on that yet though.

Looks good at the moment.

I have a situation where one data file can require 6 index updates, which is why the need to put it into a database and have the indexes generate automatically.

Doing protected files is one of those things that once you work it out in your head, is quite easy. If you want a hand, PM me and I'll try to help.

OK. Imagine this:

When you view a standard web page (not GTP), you see a file that someone somewhere wrote. If that information were to be updated, the person would have to rewrite the file.

What we're talking about is writing a file that says "OK, database, what do you have for me?", then creates itself based on what the database feeds it.

This all executes on the server, so you don't see it.

If you go to the front page of my web site, you get a random quote. This is done using PHP and MySQl. There are about 100 quotes in the database, and the page picks one at random. This used to be done in Javascript, so the browser downloaded all 100 quotes, then picked one. It was also relatively complicated to add a new quote.

Now I create a new database record for a new quote, and it's available instantly.

Trust me, it's REALLY funky! :cool:
 
Thanks Giles thats quite a bit easier to understand, but it must be complicated to do.

Heh heh. My wife says (only half jokingly) "we don't need kids, my husband has a web site"!

I've been doing this for 9 years now (since Mosaic 0.55), so I know what's going on, but I'm about 6/10ths the skill level of true pros.

Since I've been doing the PHP stuff, my site has come on in leaps and bounds, both in the presentation, and the updating of the content.
 
*pulls hair out* It did it again! It's an evil plot against me.. I can't PM you and when you IM me, I get booted.
