What software can meet my goal?
I'd like to build a small internal website were I can input info into a database (including attaching pdf's or other attachments).
Example: I decide to perform an oil change on my car. Afterwards I'd like to pull up my website to a form and input fields (like date, service done and scanned receipt of materials used). Having such a system would save me some much time. I'd like to make a database for automotive stuff initially. I'm think I could use apache, mariadb/mysql but I'm not sure how to configure submitting and retrieving data for a database. Any help you all could provide would be great. |
Together with them you may use php for server side scripting. It can handle databases as well.

Never used php or know how to code any but simple html, is it something a beginner could do?
I'm okay with apache, but new to mysql also. |
Mysql uses SQL Language.
Php was based like Perl scripting language. You can visit Php site: http://php.net The php site has tutorial, manual, and many code examples. |

OP, you should be able to load the PHP system, database connection/interface modules, and other pieces/parts from your online repositories. You don't say what version/distro of Linux you're using, so we can't tell you EXACTLY how, but post back and we can try. You can also find some great tutorials online, such as these: Building a web based form: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp To connect to a MySQL database: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_connect.asp If you know basic HTML now, this shouldn't be TOO difficult to pick up and follow. If you know another programming language already (like Perl, Ruby, or Python), it'll make even more sense. |

SQL is not a programming language, but it certainly is a language. And for this requirement, I'd honestly just use Google Docs (or Microsoft or Apple's counterparts). |
