+1 also.
You can use Mysql and control it with PHP. Lots of books on the subject. Real easy to.

Books? BOOKS? I don't need no steankin books!! ;D
I'm happy so far with what I've got, only thing is as that database grows, it's going to make for a huge webpage, so I just have to discover how to make the whole database work over a number of pages...
edit: This list will be finite (there were 35 issues of the magazine) so I thought I'd just extend that test to approximately where it should end up- about 480 rows. Not too unmanagable...
My other project will be larger, and continuing to grow. If I can't do a fancy 'database page wrap' then I'll just have to spread it over two or three pages and each page will have to be individually searched.
jrivelli, can Drupal do a 'database page wrap' (I don't know what it's actually called)? I may have to investigate...
jrivelli:
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by page wrap, but if you mean divided up by pages then yes you can. For instance, with Drupal, you can define how many you want per page super easy. So if you have 100 items you can do 10 pages of 10 or 5 pages of 20 etc.
Is that what you mean? It also has some pretty killer options for how you want the page #'s etc to look.
