Hey all....

I am a fairly new web designer, and I was just wondering if one of you web guru's could help me out with my site... I am trying to make a search engine for internet games, but I don't know what coding to use (xml/php/etc...). Also how do you database things like google?

thanks

you will need to use a combination of PHP and mysql. Unfortunately, thats as much as I can tell you, as that is as far as my knowledge goes. I am learning though.

I'm sure if you google 'PHP Search Engine' you will get what your looking for.

well, im currently trying to use frontpage and access to have a search form

access is used for just home testing, it is not a recommended database for the web or applications, it cannot support more than 8 users logged in at one time.

this i thought they might change in Office XP version 2003, but still it remained the same. for web applications, best it to use the combination of PHP and MySQL, free and robust.

haha, thanks for letting me know... I got so fed up with frontpage that i wanted to throw my computer out the window.

I found a free search engine script using php that i think i will try out...

so happy i didn't finish the search form on frontpage and find out it blows a conch
