anyone know of where i can find some free help in converting www.skratchthesurface.co.uk into a php database type affair as i assume it would be a lot easier for me to manage the info on there via databases?

Any reason for PHP? ASP & Cold Fusion do the same job. ASP is probably more tolerant of sloppy coding ;)

Any preference for database? Access/MSSQL/MySQL/et. al.

er well im new to this malarky, only ever dealt with html realy as you can see by that site...

just want it to run and look better and be easier to update as takes a while to update at the mo and theres gonna be a lot more stuff going up more often very soon as more labels are gettin intrested in the site.

any help veeeery much apreciated :D

www.skratchthesurface.co.uk on port 80 is running
Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.2 FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.6b

PHP or PERL unless you want to change servers! I'm sorry - I do ASP and Cold Fusion :(

I would however seriously consider putting a database behind the application. If you want any design tips on how to structure your data then please drop me a line - rich@sjskyline.com
