Building a weblog?

[Narz]

Hi, I'm a super novice web designer and I want to create an online log with forms and a database. What is the best language for this? I know a little PHP and though I have never worked with databases I know they are enabled on my site. Anyone know any super helpful sites that run you through the necessary step by step? Thanks very much!

Hmmm...I'm not positive on the links myself but I know there was a thread a ways back about someone wanting to program a game and wanting PHP knowledge which had some good links.

I would say PHP is a good language for this, especially the database handling. Forms can be done easily w/PERL or C++ scripting, aka cgi-scripting.

PHP should be able to handle it all though

Try doing a google search for PHP..you'll find TONS of info..I gurantee it!

Use www.php.net . And then look at the functions that deal with databases, SQL, Access or whatever. That should be your number one source for PHP programming.
