Database Driven Website On Flash Drive (32mb)

[dailytool]

I have a database of 18,000 Baby Names in Comma Delimited format. Here is an example of my database:

[Name],[Category],[Gender],[Meaning],[Origin]
"Ginger","Floral","F","Pure","Latin"
"Hazel","Floral","F","Hazelnut","Old English"
"Heath","Floral","M","A heath or a moor","Old English"
"Heather","Floral","F","Flower","Old English"
"Holly","Floral","F","To prick","Old English"

I want to build a mobile website on a 32mb flash drive keychain that shows the baby names and be searchable by category, gender, origin, etc. It needs to work on both a PC or a Mac just like the internet. Additionally, I would like to have a 'My Favorites' where the user can save a list of favorite names to the flash drive.

I thought this would be easy since i've built many websites, but i've been trying to figure out a way to do this forever!

It has to be on a small flashdrive so installing a mobile server seems rediculous. I noticed that this script:

will call info from a .txt doc. Can this be utilized in my application?

Please help. Any information or ideas are so highly appreciated!

you would need php so i suggest you look at this. next you might want to add all of your names to a mysql database; you could do this using a php script or if you have no life , manually. After that you would need a php script to do mysql functions and display all of your names in a sortable searchable table. Since there are a lot of names and a whole server you might need a bigger flash drive. Also, i think this script would be very useful to you.

Thanks so much for replying...

If you look at the last section at the bottom of this page, you will see that unfortunately, this isn't plug and play. The server and mysql both have to be turned on before i could run the database through php. Which causes problems because just anyone would not be able to figure it out.

This all started when I had a worthless programmer write a program in Delphi. He said it would work on any PC which it doesn't. He said Delphi was standalone which it doesn't seem to be. Additionally, he did a terrible job. lol I would go that route if it could be done properly. It just wouldn't work on a Mac (which isn't the end of the world).

Ideally, php and mysql are the way to go. I just can't figure out how to do it where it's user friendly...

Any ideas?

Thanks again!
