Hi Tny Shariff,
I am posting here the answer I sent you in private, I didn't notice you ALSO post the same thing here!
Here it is:
Hi Tny,
are you new to Java or to programming in general?
You can realize what you described in at least 2 different ways:
* HTML (I suggest XHTML), SQL, PHP
* HTML (I suggest XHTML), SQL, J2EE (Servlet and
JSP)
You should make a decision between those 2 solutions (there might be others!) considering which resources are available to you.
I am talking about where you want to upload your website: if you want to publish a website you have to pay for things like a domain name, web hosting and other stuff.
What you need is:
* domain name, web hosting, database support (like MySQL), PHP support
* domain name, web hosting, database support (like MySQL), Servlet and JSP support
The second solution is much more expensive than the first! Try to google for web hosting and compare the prices.
PHP is a SERVER SIDE scripting language very powerful, you can use it to access a database to retrieve/change/add/update information, and you can use to create an HTML/XHTML page that the server will send back to the client. If you are new to both PHP and Java and you need to upload your website spending as less money as possible, that go for PHP! You can find a lot of tutorials online and books in book stores. If you start from scratch, you can be up and running in PHP in like one week.
If you decide to go for the J2EE solution, you create a WEB APPLICATION more than a web site, it will cost you more money, but if you want to create this web app and have it running only on your computer (for
testing or whatever) than you need the following:
* J2SE SDK
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp also download the documentation
*
Tomcat (Servlet and JSP container)
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/ again don't forget the documentation
* a Good
IDE (I suggest Eclipse, but this is up to you!)
http://www.eclipse.org/ * MySQL server
www.mysql.com I guess this is enough.
Let me know if you want to talk any further than this...do some googling and try to have an idea of what I wrote here.
P.S. Can I ask you why you didn't post a topic in the forum? How many other people did you send this private message?
Good luck!
