If you want to use MySql as a backend and have a frontend GUI that is easy to use try KNODA. Knoda works very much like M$ Access using visual tables, forms, reports and queries.

Re: [expert] PHP vs MYSQL
PHP is a scripting language not a database MYSQL is a database not a language if you want to make db based websites you're going to need both unless you use something else for the site scripting (Perl) On 28 Jul 2002, Ric Tibbetts wrote: > Well, I guess it had to happen.

[expert] PHP vs MYSQL
Well, I guess it had to happen. If you hang around this stuff long enough, eventually you're going to need a database. I know, this may be a really subjective question, but what's the comparison between php & mysql? Is one better/worse, easier/harder than the other? Or are they just different? Does one have strengths/weaknesses over/under the other? Or are they both good, but designed to do two different jobs? This is probably all documented "somewhere". Maybe some kind soul could point me at a site somewhere, and I could just study all this myself. ;) Thanks! As always, any pointers are greatly appreciated.
