  • Not a question with a one sentence answer. Basically both are data stores. If you're just starting out you might consider using Access (or a similar product). Basically you're trying to change from a code/HTML static model to something data driven, that way when you add a new CD or artist or whatever, the page includes it automatically.

  • I run a subscription based web site. Basically I build the front-end and back-end components, and the user rents or subscribes to the application and the fee would be based on a monthly or yearly fee. For example I have a random test generator and we charge $4.98 a month or $30 a year. The price would depend on the storage need and bandwidth. If you are interested in discussing off-line you can reach me at http://www.book-marked.com. I use ASP(WEB) and SQL 2000 (Database). Also all updates are free unlike purchasing software and having to buy the update. As long as your subscription is up to date you receive the updates the next time you log in or refresh your screen.

  • What is your question ?

    What is the relation between SQL/PHP ?

    Are you trying to reach Microsoft SQL or MySQL... wherever I heard earlier about PHP, the combination is MySQL/PHP and not SQL Server/PHP.

    MySQL and php go hand in hand, but you can also use php to access SQL Server. I've tried it once and it works real fine, although I guess it's not the preferred scripting language that runs on Windows platforms.

    PHP is free. MySQL is free. Throw in Linux (free), and Apache (free), and you have the classic LAMP webserver. I think that's why you'll see PHP and MySQL together so often, but as Frank says, PHP will work with SQL Server.
