Title: web based database for business broking
Post by: del on April 09, 2004, 04:46:53 AM

Hi All,
I have my SME server running OK and have my web site up and running now I would like to install a database to store businesses for sale. It needs to be web based (php maybe?) so I can access it from any where with a internet connection. The main dat to be stored will be business type, area, price etc. I would also like a search facility and password protected so I can add users with different levels of access. Does anyone have an suggestions, is there anything that I could maybe adapt? Of course it needs to ba able to run on SME, I am using the latest version (Tony's custom ISO). Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Del

Your request is a little vague but it sounds like your best bet is to spend some time looking around http://sourceforge.net/. If your requirements for this web database are that simple then you might even consider a good book, a free weekend and do it yourself. You acquire amazing skills, you are in complete control and it is actually quite simple. I’m speaking from experience.

Hi macduck,
Can you recommend a good book! I've looked in Books a Million at the PHP stuff and thought I was in the foriegn languages section! Thanks.

Sounds like some kind of CRM system.

This is a really hard call not knowing experience levels and realizing that individuals pick things up in different ways. For what it’s worth I am an O’Reilly fan and have had a lot of success with ‘Web Database Applications – Hugh E. Williams & David Lane’. I also get a lot out of ‘PHP and MySQL Web Development – Second Edition – Luke Wellington & Laura Thomson’. The first book has a start to finish project to set up an online wine store.

I thought I was logged in, oops, perhaps not.
