Hi guys, I am new to this forum, and very new to MSQL. I have no programming knowledge in php. Infact I am a graphic/ web designer more than a back end programmer.

I am working on a site for myself that will be a links database site. I am hosted by godaddy and familiar on how to set up a mysql database. Its from there that I get stuck! I have seen the log in for phpmyadmin but dont know how to use it.

I want the site to display the following, I presume via PHP scripting:

A-z index, each linking to a page of peoples names alphabetically displayed, begining with A for eg. Each persons name will then link to a page of their own. Each persons page will have a thumbnail pic and a long list of external URLS (shown as descriptions, not URLS ie "Job Blogs runs down the road").

I would also like an alphabetical list on a separate page of peoples home sites, ie homepage of joe blogs, sue smith etc.

So, my question is, how do I set a database up, input the data and display it to match my website.

Any info on this or help would be extremely appreciated. I know its a lot to ask but I am starting from scratch with this.

Many thanks in advance guys!

please don't multi post

you have just bumped our post in the MySQL forum, you need to give it a couple of days there to see if you get a response. on past history you are more likely to get a response form the MySQL thread for these sort of questions.

You're basically asking to give you finished script that will handle all that you mentioned which is a little bit too much to ask for on the forum
If I were you I would get a book, something like "PHP and MySQL for dynamic websites" try to write your own code and then if you are stuck with something, ask questions.
