Dan,
I think it is a very powerful combination. PHP is easy to learn as is
mySQL. They are both free and powerful.
Question 2: Yes you can do about anything to a database with PHP including
updating field data, adding field data, and even creating a new database
from a web front end.

Subject: [PHP-DB] PHP: Good for articles?
Hi everyone.
I am a freelance html web designer - and I am new at it. I have also learnt
Javascript. I have a customer - a local newspaper - who wants me to update
their site weekly with newspaper articles. I have been doing this in html.
I recently changed ISP - and my new ISP allows me to run a MySQL database
and PHP. I haven't used PHP before and I am now looking into it as a
possiblity to dynamically create html pages that contain the articles sucked
out of a SQL database.
I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can tell me if PHP + MySQL
is a good setup / combination for this type of application.
Another Question: Can users via PHP update field data in a MySQL database?
I would really appreciate any comments.
