Thanks Rob for your help - very useful indeed....

Yep - Host Europe do support PHP as the programming language, so think I had
better dive in and make a start. Actually I run MS SBS with SQL server 2000
installed but this is not supported by Host Europe - hence my initial
queries. I have now downloaded MySQL and installed locally, so I'll now
download the utility they suggest "phpMyAdmin" and have a go!!
Once again thanks
Best
John
