Lee G Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuCoder Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 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.

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.
