Hi, I've been doing graphics for 10 years, html for 5, flash for less than a month, and php for 1week. I start with this so you know, I am very computersavy and visual with a nack for design, somewhat websavy, and I lack as a dynamic developer. I pick things up very fast once I get the concept of how everything works together.
I have been spending the last week trying to convert my access database from our companies inventory program to mysql as a table. Access had an export feature for tha very thing. (WHEW) After getting the username and password for the mysql database and exporting the table I have moved on to learning php.
First of all, How to I query the information I uploaded to be displayed on web pages. and second how do I create a search for those items. To be displayed on the web for customers to see.
I am also wanting to have a page where people can signup to a mailing list to get updates on new products. Which I imagine requires another table which updates itelf after somebody submits thier information. How do I go about taking those names and getting them mail. Can I use outlook or gmail to send those "newsletters" or I I need to create a web page to send that information out.
IF any of this is to vauge let me know and I will try to be more specific, If it doesn't make sense, I appologize ahead of time, just let me know and I will try to make more sense.
P.S. I am using mysqladmin to manage my database and Dreamweaver to speed up page development. Thanks for your help.
