DataBase

[ClaudeCava]

Two Questions:
First. Is there a tutorial (here or somewhere else) that explains how to make something like a GuestBook in my webPage and save in a database? and second How can I retrieve that database from the Host -> my PC ?
I would like to know how it works (mySQL, php or whatever is needed to achieve this) I want to make something like contact-us but not to use email Thanks

Re: DataBase

There's no tutorial for doing that, doing this is a whole lot more complicated then sending an email, and is not something that can be explained in a tutorial. If you are wanting to build one from scratch be prepared to learn how to program in php as well as sql to store data in a mysql database.

Heres a few good sites with programming tutorials (basic ideas, not how to do something specific)

Re: DataBase

Hi Watdaflip
Thanks for your help !
So far, I know how to program in Visual Basic 2005
Can you tell me if that can be done by using visual studio 2005
If so, what tools should I learn ?

Why re-invent the wheel ?

There are lots of free guestbooks scripts on the web. Also, your CP (Fantastico) offers some guestbooks i believe.

To create a contact form, you don't need to learn all that, just watch the relevant BlueVoda Forms Tutorial Part 1 . If you want to store the info in the database, use Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

Most web languages don't need a complier like Visual Studio, they are parsed at execution. This means you can use whatever you want, Visual Studio technically should work, but you could even use notepad if you wanted to.
