We are talking very little data, few columns. I will do all data entry in this example database, so it does not require an interface for data entry, unless it is very easy to make anyway...
I know how to do this on a very low level, I have made a couple of such database-based sites before (.asp vb scripting and MySQL), but I am very slow at doing it, being so inexperienced, and besides it has been a while. Finally, I need to be sure that the data I punch in is secure which requires more knowledge than I have. Secure, as in I can leave it on my domain, and present it at the board meeting over the internet, with a login of some kind.
The database will be a collection of experiences on some issues gathered from different managers. The idea would be that they collectively add data to the database so experiences are accumulated.
I just plan on pitching the idea, so it just has to be minor working. That is, one generated page pulling the data, perhaps 10 different inquiries into the database would be enough, of data that I have already punched in myself, and well, maybe a template for data entry to show how it should work.
If they buy the idea I will try and persuade them to hook me up with a guy from their IT-division for the development of a more complete system.
I am willing to pay a little for this, upfront, should someone be interested. I own a site (thorlaksson.dk) which allows for My/MsSQL, asp, php, decent size database and so on. Should be adequate.
We could perhaps wrap it up during the LAN, I think, if someone interested in this should be there, after we have discussed it over IM or such.
I hope my rambling makes sense. If not ask away :)
PS. Can you get predefined sites, where you just punch in the data, and they have a GUI where you define the front end and such, and voila? :g:
Edit: I am posting here since the stuff is a bit sensitive...
Edit2: Am I planning on something that has already been done in more complete systems? I.e. trying to reinvent the wheel? :blink:

Can you tell me what versions of php/mysql you have running?
If you need to find out and use putty you can try:
php -version
and
get to your mysql monitor and type:
select version();
I know some hosts don't always advertise that info. But its good to know as it can affect how you will make it secure etc.
The things you ask seem fairly straightforward to me. I am currently building an Enterprise System in php5/mysql5. I should have more then enough experience for you ;)
My initial thoughts are that when you come to demo it to the board, they will be more interested in the colour of a submit button and ignore all the features and work that makes it useful. At least, that's what its like where I work :eyebrow:.
I'll catch you on MSN if you like.

Cheers James, PM on the way :)
My MSN is on at home, no access at work so I'll see it a bit later. :)
