Creating a php website powered by SQL

[jeggah]

This may sound a bit confusing so I'll use an example.

Say I want to make a book-review website using PHP, and I want to write lots of book reviews. Instead of creating a page for every book, which could mean hundreds and hundreds, is there a way you can do this with mySQL and if so, how?

I would prefer to maybe fill out a form on a website with the 'book-review' which would enter the data into the database, and then you will be able to access this 'book-review' using a URL (in your website template of course)

Please reply and help me

There isn't really an easy way to answer this but if you use a search or a form to pass to a PHP page which "book id" from the database you want to view you can use one page to view any book you so choose.

Check out the PHP tutorials at devshed.com

There should be a MySQL tutorial there to pull off what you want.

if you want it with a little less search work I can advise to have a look at SAMS PHP & MySQL chapter 10 (like on Amazon.com where you can actually browse the complete book)

There is an exmple of a book site including reviews (I mean in the book, not Amazon
