ACBobby Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm currently working on a small project for my American Government class (it beats writing an essay any day). The basis is that I am to design a website that would list elected representatives native to that particular state, county, and city. My original intent was to simply dump all of the data into a SQL database and pull it into different pages. However, I'm not currently sure if there's a script available that would allow me to do something similar to this. Essentially: I would have a dropdown list, and once a selection is made it will automatically take you to the respected page and display all data related to that particular location or selection. Any thoughts/tips/tricks/ideas? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimaj Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 You can look at DaDaBIK (which is a front end for a MySQL DB). I haven't played much with it to see if it will allow you pick something from a combo box. yet. Another approach would be to write your own website. Something to think about: - if you are familiar with C#, you can write it using Visual Studio (ASP.NET) - If you are familiar with Java, you can write a Java applet - You can also write a page in a PHP that would refresh as soon as you will choose something from a combo box. dimaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 PHP would be a good choice for this project, you can find a lot of PHP scripts available for download on the net. As well as there are heaps of documentation, tutorials on how to program in PHP. I personally find a lot easier to write dynamic web applications in php than any other language.
