Hi, I have a MySQL database I have been playing with ever since phpmyadmin died on me. It's just as well - I really wanted to get this into something more customized anyway, and phpmyadmin allowed me to be lazy and put it off. : ) However, I'm getting a bit tired of doing the command-line thing, so i've been looking at python and perl and trying to figure out which would be better to create a web-based interface to enter data and display queries. Or maybe I should just use php? Do you have a preference for handling data input? The database is not real complex: tracking training classes, and who attended which class. It requires entering data once a month on classes, and entering data piecemeal throughout the month on students and class attendance. Thanks for any suggestions. Carol Bean
