Loading user data to a web site

January 5th, 2009

I am working on a site where there will be a workshop schedule that changes on a monthly basis. I am struggling with the best way for the web site owner to update the schedule. She is capable of learning one of the ftp programs and uploading a file to the web host disk. A password protected form with several text input boxes for the new schedule would be nice, but I have not been able to find a way to go from a completed form to inclusion in the web page. I suspect MySQL would do this but I am not a SQL person (I do know Access fairly well). Most sites want a premium for SQL processing, and I hate to add this monthly cost just for this update.

Thanks

Another good place is Crazyhostguy.com. PHP and MySQL are free. They have some good packages as well. Check them out

Thanks Frank,

I had a feeling this was going to be my best (only?) option. Hopefully I can learn enough about PHP/SQL to code this up.

If you know access already there is no reason you couldnt do something in PHP/Access.

Or for that matter because it sounds like the data is just flat and relatively static, you could even create a form that writes to a CSV text file and then have a PHP script that displays that csv text file.

PHP and MySQL would be great for this. They are both free so hosts dont charge you tons of money like they would on a microsoft server. PHP/MySQL wil let you password protect pages (using sessions) and then you could write one page that just selects data from the database for a specific schedule...you can also update it through php/mysql aswell

A nice host thats cheap with support for PHP4/MySQL is phpwebhosting.com - I use them and they are great.

Good Luck
