what kind of stuff is available to you on the server (software like php/ruby/sql engines/bla bla bla) that's hosting the website?
Do you prefer dogs or cats?
Alright, I had a nice site started in Flash, but the school radio station wants an easily-updated site for everyone to update daily. This means I need to rebuild the site (and learn some more nifty web design), but if anyone can suggest a nice backend to build it around, I'd much appreciate it.

If you want to update a Flash site using a back end interface, your best direction to head in is to use XML/ASP(.NET)/SQL, or XML/PHP/SQL (depending on what your server supports). Let me know if you need any help and I can point you in the right direction/provide you with some great code to get you started. At least on the Flash side of things.Originally Posted by ChaoofNee
I'm sure there are people here who are better versed in server side languages that could help you with that side of things. Though I have experience, I'm no expert.

Absolutely nothing. It's run by the school, so it's dry. I might be able to weasel something out of the CS department if I try hard, though.

try to push for php then, it's readily available on pretty much every server on the planet so it has a proven track record plus you'll have dozens, if not hundreds of content management solutions to pick and choose from
just make sure for the love of god they install php FIVE and not php 4

I'll give it a look. Thanks, guys.
Time to order a book or two on PHP.

you don't need a book, the manual pages on php.net are by and far the most well-documented manual pages for any language ever
