<%IF i learned .ASP in less than 1 month%> <%THAN that would be great%>

Think it's possible? I'm trying to incorporate a rating/review system into my site ^ ^

I would recommend PHP instead. This forum and most websites today run on PHP. For instance, our bar review rating sytem is PHP.

It integrates into HTML and is open-source. I am reading some great books on PHP (server-side scripting) and MySQL (a open-source database tool). PHP also has a better learning curve and their is a TON of FREE/shared code out there.

If you want to add some great features to your site and is basically "cut and paste" find some good JavaScript websites that share code.

What I was looking for was something very similar to Amazon.com.

I was looking to have viewers be able to rate an item without having to leave a review (but make sure the same IP couldnt rate the item more than once) and members able to leave reviews.

Think PHP is a good way to go?

Honestly, I don't think there is anything you can't do with PHP that you can do on ASP. I would say you will have a better time learning PHP because it is easier and open-source. Because it is open-source there are a ton of people out there willing to help. I believe ASP is Microsoft software and not open-source.

Almost all servers come with the ability to use PHP and they seem to come with MySQL as their database software. I bought an excellent book at Barnes and Noble just a few weeks ago called PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites.

I have never written a PHP script, but have done many modifications.

For instance, this forum does not come with an Arcade, Articles, Gallery, Links, Quizzes, bookie, etc. Either I paid someone to integrate them or I did them myself. Did you know a 16-year old kid wrote the Quiz "hack" I added to this site?

I have changed the PHP code on forums dozens of time with absolutely no knowledge of PHP. Recently I have wanted to start writing my own code, thus the book purchase. I will be adding some webmaster links soon where you can reference tutorials and webmaster forums.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I usually do graphics for sites. This will be the first time I'll try and actually run one. I like your sites so I'm gonna trust that PHP would be the best choice. Thanks, I'll let yah know the progress in a month!

Also, take a look at learning CSS. It is a basic script that helps you organize your webpage and takes a day to learn the basics. It really cleans up your HTML and helps you make changes to your web sites with a single change.

In order I would learn:

HTML
CSS
PHP

And you can use Frontpage to create basic sites and Dreamweaver to create websites with CSS and PHP.

Good luck!

Mike
