I do not know of an off the shelf web front end for mysql. I use mysql as the database for a web site. Most of my scripts were written in c. They were too easy. My first program took about an hour. Most of the time was spent figuring out that I had to include libraries and include directories. The command line to compile under freebsd 2.2.7 stable is: gcc -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -I/usr/local/include/mysql file.c -lmysqlclient -lm Check out the c api section of the mysql manual. This shows you everything you need to know about the api. In addition, I did a search on the web for mysql tutorials. There are plenty out there, and some of them are very detailed explaining the api. This is where I got the most help about programming to interface to mysql. About PHP, I initially looked into PHP, and like DOC, I installed Apache with php. Although, I have not used php so far (mainly because of my c background and time constraints), the interface to mysql is simple. Very easy to use. If you are looking for a simple interface that works great on the web, and you have the time for the learning curve, PHP is probably the way to go. By the way, there are some great web resources on php. Just find the php home page, and your off to the races. Dr. Mosh wrote: > >I am busy installing it at the moment.
