Keith,
I was recently looking for that very thing! I thought I was going to
need to write a whole bunch of Perl code, but then I came across PHP3, an
HTML-embedded scripting language. It contains a wide range of functions,
allowing you to use it in association with dBASE, Sybase, FilePro, mSQL,
MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL (what I am using), and others. I have only been
working with it for a couple of days, but I have already been able to
display dynamic inventory and order processing pages. It can be run as a
CGI program, or as an Apache module. It looks like a very powerful
tool--and it's GNU General Public License! (Take that, M$! ;)
