I am volunteering to help build a web site for a dog rescue here in Los Angeles. I have plenty of web building experience in Flash and Dreamweaver and know some basic SQL stuff.

What I am trying to do is create this web site so that it is simple for the rescue to update.

I want them to be able to add a new photo of a dog, it's description and have the web site source that data base and build the web page accordingly.

I was thinking SQL is the way to go but I am not sure how to start. Any suggestions or sample code that I can reverse engineer for this application?

You may try the open source and edit it if you want, they don't charge for non-profit use. It's extremely nice, easy to configure and they code them good.

http://www.cgi-resources.com - hotscripts.com - plenty of pre-built stuff there that you can hack into.

If you need databases, I would recommend using php as its more geared up to mySQL than say perl.

Before anyone moans about the above line, Im a realist not a purist. Lets not start a debate about the pros/cons of php vs perl okey dokey?
