News Bulletin

[riveroaks]

Many sites today have a home page that contains some form of a news bulletin, a list basically of recent events. I want to place one of these on my current project site but I don't know how to go about it. I assume it's server side code because any files holding the news must be on the server, however, I do not know any server side langauges. Can anyone point in me in the direction of some information on creating one of these news bulletins? Thanks.

it's just php and mysql.

yep, but no mysql. it's actually flatfile. i've used it before, really good and easily customizable -- in fact i could add some features on your request to it... :)

Ok, I figured the bulletins involved php, but I have never even looked into mySQL and never even heard of a "flatfile" do you know where I can find some good introductory information on those subjects? I know that mySQL is related to databases but thats about it. Thanks
