Hi all you php experts!
Ok, I am really new to both databases and php so I need a little help getting started with this project that I am trying to do. Let me describe it so that you might be able to give me more specific help. I work at a university and I am trying to create a database that will track changes made in the computer labs around campus. So, I want to store information in the database about computer labs and even specific stations. The database I am using is postgresql under linux and an apache webserver. So I want to be able to extract information from the database into a webform. Also, I want to be able to take other information typed into that form to be stored back into the database. I also would like to have another form generated with specific information already filled in once the submit button on the first form was pressed. If I could get started with all this, then I think I would be on the right track to do more things like emailing reports to lab managers and such. Anyway, I hope you can forgive my newbieness, and I have looked up documentation, but there is just too much to weed through to find what tools I need. Anyway and all help is much appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
