Thanks for your great suggestions and your help, I will do as you suggest and just continue to work on it and learn more about the language and add as I go, again thaks for the support much appreciated.

Yes I have looked at his tutorials very nicely done, but there just is not enough info there to accomplish what I would like to do on our website as I think there may be more coding there than I am capible of doing with just a few tutorials:) It is mind boggling as to all of the functions, arrays, querys and so on. I guess I have been playing around with html way to long. I have a few php scripts on our website right now such as phpbb3 and online support but they were pretty much self install stuff so I have not played around with the code end of it much.

I did setup an id table in the database and have the auto option turned on, is this what you are refering to? sorry Im a little green so please bare with me, also how would the client gain access to this by submitting the id in a form? Right now we have a secured area in our website using SSL and I give them a password to login but it has all our boating customers info in there and I would like to make this more private and secure by using the database and php.

I am just stating to play around with php and mysql so don't beat me up to much I have a database set up already with tables and our customer info inputed into the tables already, we are in the vehicle detailing business and would like to be able to allow our customers to be able to access the status of there boat detailing but only there info and not the others in the database. I have been able to connect the database and retrieve data but only everyones data and Im starting to think this is way over my head, so any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
