"If you need any PHP/MySQL type work done, let me know"
I will keep my eye out for anything I can pass your way. I don't know much about what PHP/MySQL is used for--what is your typical client like?
MySQL is a database software, and PHP is an internet scripting language (much like ASP or Perl). They work well together for creating dynamic webpages based on database queries. For example, the Hobbit Hole forum uses PHP and MySQL, so each time you view a page, it queries the database for the appropriate information (posts, polls, user data, etc) and creates the webpage that is displayed.
Only done a couple of site so far, and nothing nearly as complex as that forum... yet. One is a commercial site that sells used industrial equipment. Had to create capability for searching and browsing the inventory , email inquiry forms, and storage of customer data, as well as an administrative interface for adding and editing items in the inventory.
The latest project is a company intranet where empoyees can report and view quality assurance reports, and managers can post announcements and documents and such.
I'm still fairly new to all this, but am picking it up fairly quickly. Learning more with each project.
Well I am fading fast, so I'm heading to the couch for real now. Good night!
