    Does anybody know of software that I can use to add a database to my new site. Something like access but for php. Some applications like phpyellow are nice but very restricting. I know I'm going to have to learn to write the code but for now I would like to stay focused on building the site. Any information would help.

    Thanks.

    Do you run your own server? This should be part of your hosting package (or not if they don't let you).

    The type of server dictates the type of database software. Most PHP is hosted on *nix with MySQL.

    At this point the site isn't up and running yet. I was looking for a php application that has the ms access type if interface.

    I guess the biggest question is what you mean by "add database to my new site". What do you expect to do with the database?

    I would like to add a searchable database where clients could enter data and others could search for through existing data to find what their looking for.

    Techno, that sounds like any web interface into a database.

    Create forms for users to insert and update information into the database. Create other forms and response pages pages for users to drop 'like' terms into and view the results from. Tie all the forms and response pages into database access technologies, like ADO, ODBC, and JDBC, so that the page scripts can actually work with the database. The tricky part is going to be figuring out how much access you want to allow users, and then locking them out of the rest.

    I don't know the data access codes for PHP though.
