Hello.  My husband and I own a webdesign business and we have decided to take on a site that requires some dynamic pages.   This is our first site like that.

Background...the dynamic part of the site starts with a list of 10 diplomas or degrees offered by a college.  I want a high school student to be able to click on any of these "majors" and see a page that lists all the courses that are required to complete that major.

The list must include a link to a course description, number of credits, course title.  Some courses carry over to other majors (college comp I etc.).

The student needs to be able to check a box for the classes he/she wants to take in High School to get a jump on college.  Then click a submit button and have two sections generated, one with the college classes they want to take in HS and another segment listing which classes they'll have left to take in college.  Its basically a planning tool for parent/counselor/student.

Are MySQL and PHP the way to go with a project like this?  The college wants to be able to update this on their own later.  

Thanks much.

Understood - the two technologies are separate but go together in many applications like a hand in a glove.

Since we're quite a quiet board here, you'll probably find that you get a more joined and active response on just a single board, so I'm locking this thread but leaving your post as a pointer to the PHP forum.   Hope you're OK with that - it should help you get the best of both worlds.
