I am going to create my first website here. I know VB and HTML and i did create some webpages with HTML. The first thing i am going to do is to create a database, and create a homepage wwhich will random pick few data from the database, can you guys tell me which software is the easiest way to do it?

HTML+PhP+MySQL?

No Software. php has to be coded.

We had some threads about learning php:

also you don't need SQL as DB you can setup bunch of txt files as DB that would work too Razz

Here is an example for you to start you going this Guestbook project made well 1/2 in flash and 1/2 in php
i got it about 5yrs ago from flashkit site and then modded the flash for my own needs Smile

I think i stopped using this lame guestbook for couple years but it's really good example of some simple php stuff you might be interested in Smile

sorry that I didn't add the fla files I can't find them now but you can decompile the swf files or just look at just the php file which already has some interesting info
