Hywel,
Isn't PHP/MySQL needlessly complex for this kind of thing? We may be
comfy arsing around with SQL, but if he's a newbie, I think Perl and
text-files would be a FAR simpler way of achieving this - much better
server support and dead simple code.
If he wanted to go for a proper WIKI (note to newbie - DON'T), then
maybe mySQL would be the best choice, but if just wants people to be
able to swap thoughts, i'd suggest keeping it simple.
Just my thoughts, Hywel does more of this than me i suspect.
