Well I have now set up PHP, MySQL and Apache to play nicely. Question what should with it, I've considered an ftp indexer for my uni network, any other ideas?

Not sure about your web server but should you not make your HTML conform to HTML standards?

I just ran your index page through tidy and got:

Code:

Don't think I'm trying to get at you. It is something that we try to adhere to at work and I try to do myself elsewhere. I just thought you may want to know.

Well if you want to make money, I would suggest hosting a porn site. They are about the only sites that can make money in this toilet bowl economy.

make the worlds largest yet best configured page of links, like google but browsable by category.
