Web Site Personalisation

Post by Stelios »

Hi everybody,

I am developing a web site where I want users to be able to personalise it. What I mean by that is that the idea of this website is that users can search and find music. I want them to be able to add their favourite songs in a list and be able to access them every time they log on. Is this possible with PHP and if yes, is there any tutorials on the web that you might know of so that I take a look at?

Thanks a lot! :D :D

This is as simple as storing data into the database.

As users add files into their list, it is stored into the database and whenever they login again, this list can be easily retrieved.

This is possible in PHP and if I interpret your question correctly, this is an easy task.

As for tutorials, perhaps the following might help for beginners:

PHP >> http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp
SQL >> http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
Accessing MySQL in PHP >> http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

Lastly, this PHP documentation is your friend, familiarize yourself with him >> http://www.php.net/manual/en/

Using PHP with an excellent backend database such as MySQL would do the trick. If you are a newcomer to then PHP then this may prove to be a bit tricky so remember to read up on some tutorials / books.
