Could I please ask if somebody could point me to a document or a 'good' site that I can start from scratch with getting some database functionality into a web page.

What I am trying to do as project 1 is :

Making a todo list with a date field and 6 individual fields that can be edited online. To accept 6 tasks per day and allow them to be checked off once complete. But to keep a history too so if you want to go back x days to see what you did you can.

Is that complicated to do? I could write it in a bout 10 minutes in MS access but have no clue where to start.

Unix server, MySQl

Thanks in advance.

Mike

The first step is to determine your language/technology. if you are on a UNIX server, chances are pretty good you'll want to use PHP. There are many excellent tutorials and books for using php with mySQL, and you can get up and running very quickly.
