address-list management

[Anon]

I want to set up an address-list which can be administrated via the web.
I seems to me that PHP could be a good tool to do this (I am a a PHP newcomer). Is there some simple possibility to write adresses f.i. to a text file, or should I use some kind of data base? (MySQL??)

Thanks for suggestions

You'd be better off in the long run to use a database, trust me. Take a little time to learn how to use them. You can do it either way, though.

You can pretty much write anything to a database. Anything you can assign to a PHP variable which includes numbers, text, and files.

If your not familiar with PHP/MySQL, read some tutorials. You'll find a good one at http://www.hotwired.com/webmonkey. Click on programming and php. There are also some good tutorials and information at www.devshed.com and here on PHPbuilder.

Hi John!
Thanks for your comment.
I just started a little to work with PHP and MYSQL and followed some tutorials. It seems to be a great tool. My first database is working in the starting phase.
