Database Web Application

Hey All,

I need to develop a web application based on database for my school. In other words, It needs to be easy to modified since other departments are in need of this. This is for masters program. The study plan is the main restriction. Some people don’t fill it out properly, so i need to make it restricted. Such as, if a person choses a class that is not related to his program, i should make it not available to be selected. I have knowledge of html, but it sounds like JavaScript.
Can anyone tell me where to start from? I do html for my personal interest and graphic design, but this is little different and i am not sure what to do.

@coldfire421Apr 02.2011 — The answer for your question is not only javascript, Javascript is only a client side script where it runs only when the html page is already loaded in your client web browser.

The one you needed is some sort of server-side script like PHP. a server side script usually use when your web site need to save or retrieve data from your web server, server side script runs in the server side when the web server receive a url request from a web browser and then it will create a response as a plain html page like what you see in your browser

The platform is something like this

It will all start from a url request from a client (web browser)

then when a web server receive a request it will identify weather the url request is just a plain html response or need some server process usually by mime type like if its a php a php script will run

php script - usually add, edit, delete, select, etc... from database and after it process it will generate an html response to the requesting web client

and that is what you see you your browser pure html no more server side script

Success!
