Ok...so here's what i'm trying to do. I'm designing a website for a funeral home (morbid, i know), and he wants to list obituaries on the site. He wants the obituaries listed by year and month of death, but he also wants a search option.

So here's what i figured i would do. i would put all the obituaries into a database, and then have the pages from the year and month of death pull the information from the database. As for the search, i would have it search the database and display the results.

the problem is that ihave no idea how to do any of this. i've done a bunch of web design, but more on the graphic end. i don't know much about databases at all, let alone how to query them.

PLEASE HELP! thank you all.

I would suggest reading books and online tutorials that deal with PHP and mySQL...PHP is a online programming language that can interface with a mySQL database.
