Building a DB from scratch!

Hello!

I have some questions regarding databases. I am creating a website that will 'hopefully' have a database that users can search. I am creating the website using Dreamweaver CS4  on a Mac.

My hosting company provides me with a tool to create a database, however I am unable to display the search results on my website with my own design background. Do you think there is a way to integrate their database within my own website design?

If this is not possible, should I ditch this 'tool' and go for options I have seen online such as PHP and MySQL or Access? I have also heard of the bundle MAMP. Do I need to install this?


Thanks a bundle!

The inbuild database features from DW are not easy to configure if you don't use a local config.

start with beginners tutorials about php/mysql from the net (there are so many, just google)

Found this site, http://www.phpsimple.net which looks pretty good.
 Using PHP to call data from a MySQL database is much easier than it sounds, and learning can take a week maximum to get your head around it.
 Good luck
