Thank you Shelly for your response, and my main problem is that I
don't know anything about Databases excetp their main concepts, and
thats why I was looking for file handling solutions but I will give it
a try reading about MySQL and hope I can get the solution and work it
out, but I need something else which is, what do I need to get started
working with MySQL, do I need to install the MySQL on my pc or I can
workit out like php directly in txt files and cut paste the code to my
pages or what will be the process of working with MySQL, as I know
that the SQL2000-2005 need the SQL server to be installed.
Thanks for your help anyway.
