Database For Managing School attendance

[Lee G]

I am looking for a database that could be modified to take attendance etc. for my training school. I do not want to start from scratch with PHP, etc. Unless I can't find one to modify.

That is probably the route you will have to take. I do not know of any other way to go about it other than with PHP.

Does this database need to operate on the Web, or is this something you want for your own record keeping?

 

... When need more details as to what you need to do specifically?

Yes it needs to operate on the web/host.

The database would need to operate on the Web, such that others could use the program to manage their data as well.

OK, are you guys now running your own web server? If not .. don't do it, it is easier just to use a host. I ran my own server in office for years and I had to worry about:

 

- crashes

- software updates

- power backup

- backups

- hardware failures

 

... Etc.

 

Get a hosting account and all your problems are solved. They will have PHP, MySQL ready to go. And in the end, it will probably be much cheaper.
