I really don't know. I'm doing this all by trial and error. I'm using www.spaceports.com to host it and they have php and mysql support. i know the php part works fine cuz I've tried a few pages. I just don't know how to work with the MySQL part going through them, but I'm sure I can find that on their forums. Oh, really the hardest concept that I have left to think through for my address book is the user authentication. I'm using the book "PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Welling & Thomson and the "simple" authentication using PHP and MySQL doesn't work. I've gone through and matched every possible bit of data to their's and it still doesn't authenticate correctly. Does anybody have a sample of a PHP script that uses a MySQL database to store the usernames and passwords that actually works and you can actually share? I've been trying to get it to work for 5 hours this evening and I am out of ideas.
