Hi all,

I'd like to build a database of images (artwork) and articles (about works of art) that can be searched by: name of artist, title of work, date work was created, author of article, title of article, title of artwork discussed in article, and date article was written.

I was thinking about using MySQL and PHP but was wondering if there was a better way to do this. Nothing against MySQL or PHP but I'd hate to find out there was a better way to do it after it's finished.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
SR

MySQL and PHP are fine for what you want. You can also have a look at prebuild websites like joomla and dupal which possibly will make it abit easyer for you

Agreed, these are both good tools to provide the flexibility you need to meet this job

PHP/MYSQL is the best combination. If you want to use asp/asp.net then MS SQL is good for it. You most probably need a customized solution since you need the search functionalities (filtering the database by various criteria)

PHP/MySQL with Linux are good combination. Also, you may get free third party script/CMS meet to your requirement so you will not even need to write a piece of code.

Thanks for your response and suggestion of joomla. I was pleasantly surprised by the interface, it seems very user friendly.

A concern with joomla is that content can't be assigned to multiple categories, a function I think I'd need to cross reference images, articles, artists, authors and dates.
They do offer ways around this so I'm still considering.

twhdir, thanks for your reply.
You mentioned a "customized solution" because of the search functionalities I need. I'd like to investigate that more...Do you know of any examples I can look at that seem similar to what I need?

General Question
Using PHP and MySQL, would I have to install the database on a server? If so it may be a problem with space...Do you know of any solutions that can be done on web to avoid installing on a server?

Thanks for your suggestions... really helpful...

PHP plus MySQL is, arguably, the standard solution for something like what you want.

try GUI client

I think PHP and Mysql is the best combination and one plus point is with mysql is that it gives you Graphical User Interface since Oracle doesn't give you GUI.
you could use SqlServer also.

Combination of PHP and Mysql is the best tool to build database.

Well, I think Navicat lite(phpmyadmin replacement)8.1.18 is a very good database development free tool, It supports all the latest MySQL features including Trigger, Stored Procedure, Function, Event, View, and Manage User, etc.

Of course the answer is PHP/MYSQL.

Hi,

as some organizations involved in emailing monitoring, developed some tools, databases in use by mail servers to filter inbound mail, rejecting it and bouncing back, please help me to build a small database of mail servers rejecting freemail like Yahoo Mail.

(if you are aware of another freemail service provided, showing the same problems - Gmail, Hotmail ... , please provide me with some details).

The first mail relay server, I discovered, rejecting self-testing at Yahoo Mail was Yahoo Operations Europe - smtp mail relay server in London,
generating dislike notice to the world
"I don't like the recipient..."

Another one was mail server at Columbia University.

Today another one from California, generating the following notice

Undeliverable:

Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:
...
Diagnostic information for administrators:

Please add your comments to this list.
