what I would like to do is to create a site where people are able to submit thier site the my website and for it to be posted atomatically with out me having to do anything. I think a database is the way to do that but really don't know how I would do this.

I'd want them to be able to submit a Name for the site, Description, Image and URL.

I'd like to make the url madatory.

Any idea on How I can do this? What kinda database do I need? How can I do this?:confused:

A MySQL database will work for this. Any database really.

truth is I don't really know if it's a database I need, I just thought that it would be a database that I would need inorder to accomplish my goal.

I would need to as far as I can see have a database create a new record every time someone new posts thier site up.

They would need to enter a site name, description, image and link to thier site. So I would need a database for that information, right?

I was thinking mayb Mysqul. Do I need a database and if so is Mysqul a good one to use for this and where do I go to get started with creating it.
