Greetings Miguel,
Step 1:
Identify all the information you want to track. Since you already have a
form, you probably have done that already.
Step 2:
Create your database. I recommend that if you are as new to this as you
sound that you install webmin www.webmin.com or phpMyAdmin
http://www.phpwizard.com/projects/phpMyAdmin/ and use their interface to
create your database.
Step 3:
Write some program to take the data from the form and put it into your
database. I recommend that you explore the exciting world of PHP. (if you
haven't already)
Step 4:
Ask a lot of questions. :) There are some really bright people on this
list (not me, but there are some) who have probably run across any problem
you might come across. Also, join the PHP lists as well cause we don't
answer PHP questions here.
HTH,
Cal

Subject: help for a begginner!
Hello,
My name is Miguel and I am a MD from Spain. Since 1999 I am running a
website www.acidez.net addressed to patients with heartburn. Now, I would
like to create a database, to store the data patients give me. My idea is to
do a survey about this disconfort t try to improve the knoledge about it.
Right know I am doing it but trough a form in the web page that email the
data to a company that send me the results like an email. Well, I would like
to develop my own database. So, I undestood I had to upgrade my package in
my server into a one that support MySQL, so I did it. Well, so now what?,
I have a software installed in my desktop called winmysqladmin, but I do not
know what to do with it.
If somebody could explain me the first basic steps, like.
should I create a SQL database in my desktop, and upload it through and ftp
server, or what should I do.
Thank you very much,
I will appreciat any help.
Sincererely,
Miguel Garcia-Oria, MD
