I have a library project I need to set up.

It consists of about 500 materials, including some CDs, tapes, and
(mostly) books.  There is no checkout system; all I need to do is create a
remotely-accessible list of its contents.

I could just put the content in an HTML page, but a Windows user needs to
be able to use some tool (preferably net-accessible as well) remotely when
more materials arrive to update it.

That would occur about 10 times a year, or less.

So, I was thinking of using a MySQL database.  Looking around
freshmeat.net, I found a complete implementation of a library called Koha.
However, this quickly fell into the category of "Massive overkill".

Is there a simple way?  I've heard that I can just put the data in a MySQL
table, and use phpSQLAdmin (or something similar) to remotely log into
MySQL, but I've never dealt with MySQL before.

(PS: The finished product will be at http://residents.wox.org/)

Thanks in advance.

inputting data.

with Basil.
