I don't think the PLUG list will be the proper place to continue your inquiry on the various non-Linux aspects of setting up a web-based ordering system. There are a number of local developer mailing lists hosted at lists.free.net.ph which you may want to check out. The OSS-Dev and PHP lists come to mind, immediately. <http://lists.free.net.ph/>. > For the purpose of making the online ordering site for her... I am now > studying PHP. Good choice. You can also explore Zope, especially if you will have the liberty of running your own server. I've been using Zope since maybe March, and it's been great, so far. It's made my development work of web-based systems so much easier. > In your opinion what else should I study? Management of an RDBMS like PostgreSQL, and SQL. > How were u able to fax the details of the order? You can build this on-the-fly and use something like HylaFAX. But do you need to fax the order details? Won't email, or some other online mechanism do? > Whats the use of the database backend? To store information on your products (details, specifications, prices), customers, as well as transactions. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : <http://jijo.free.net.ph/> Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc.
