It’s time to ask the pros. Basically what I need is a guide to what I should be reading and learning to do what I need to do.

What I need to do..
Create a Database with a web interface where users could see an inventory of pictures in thumbnail view with descriptions. At the same time to be able to search and for a specific picture by name.

How do I go about to doing that, could someone recommend the right books on what I should be reading or point me into the right direction and step by step process that I need to take to get this done. I’m pretty new at Pearl, cgi and sql but am willing to learn from your experience.

I got a coulple of books on Perl/Cgi but they don’t explain how to implement the script to a webpage.

http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp :: to learn about xml and web databases.
might need to go to a more indepth website on the databases though.

http://www.scriptarchive.com/ :: to learn about perl scripts relating to html

http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Websi...PHP-and-MySQL/ :: heres one with mySQL and PHP. a bit outdated but i'm shure you'll get the idea.


if anything just google it

I'll check it out. Thanx

php and MySql work dead easy together.

phpmyadmin is useful for taking the drudgery out
of managing the database.

you'll have a site up in no time.

Or just download Coppermine. It is a php, mysql based photo gallery. I love it.
