Well its been more work to setup my server to run php then actually coding it ... what a shame...
You will find my prototype here:
http://destrier.darkmaster.net:8088/vm/
It is far from great... the code is ugly (could be fited in 2 php files) and my DB very incomplete.
As Arioch suggested a shop link could be added that would list where that CD can be bought...
I dunno if i ll keep working on it since Avantine already has a similar project underway, but it might allow you guys (/gals) to give some additionnal ideas.
BTW. an empty Album or Song search will return the complete DB.

Atreides, there are many good texts out there for settin up php and mysql server, ive found them, but neva read them. i always do things the hard way. and yup, settin up a server with them on is usually harder than writing the php code.
i know where Avantines discog section is, but i wont post anything with out her say so as bits and peices of the site are still under construction and i think she wants to open the lot all at once. im not sure on this so im goin to play it safe.
what you have got there isnt 2 bad.

hehehe yea Street_Rat , I m the same, why read the doc when u can just guess it?
The code itself took me less the 2 hours , 3 hours to setup my workstation to run php (apache 2.0 and php4 on win2k aint a good mix). And another 3 hours to reconfigure my linux server, 2 of which where spend resolving bad library dependencies (i hate those).
The code itself realy sux, #### there are 5 html file and 5 php file, this should hold easaly on 2 php and 1 html. But its not to bad for 2 hour work and a first try in php.
For the shop section i was thinking adding a shop link beside each country which take you to a list of links or address to stores that sell that album.
Also adding administration pages that let the admin manage the DB, and report pages for clients to report sighing of CD and stores that sell them...

guessing how to put it all together is sooo much fun
if u got the time to waste, else its just frustrating.
i have a very basic login script that uses a few php classes i created, if u want it, ill send it to you rather than you creating your own.
its rather very secure (i think so anyway)
atm what u have proposed is a little more advanced than the php section aventine has, but im sure u wont mind if i rip it off, i mean 'borrow it' if it all works out ok.

I had nothing to do this morning ... so I took a few minuts to add a shopping / store section on my prototype. I ve added a 'shop' link beside each country in the page that list detailed information for an album, beside each country name.
Maybe I ll add an admin section once I m done washing and waxing my car.
