Hi Ppl,

I have an idea which will need an online database. Potentially many thousands of records, but each one very small. Probably only 5 fields, the 1st 3 being no more than 5 character, the 4th being about 25 and the 5th maybe 255.

I need "users" to be able to add records (with a password) then other people to search for them using 2 specific search strings. If, if this field = 123 AND that one = 456.

Where should I get started?

Is MySQL the best option for this?

Be sure PHP and MySQL are perfect for you.

Many people wrote a small course about that, so a simple google search will do the job...!
