Need help with making a website in Dreamweaver.

[Anark]

Heya guys.

I'm currently making a website for my ATC Squadron and have made most of the site, but I want to install a news system.
The problem is, I have no idea how to use scripts, PHP, SQL, any of that stuff so I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me.

Thanks.  :)

Thanks,  :)

What are you actually trying to accomplish - if I know what you are aiming to do in the finish I may be able to offer the odd little bit of advice.

Trying to code something like that using PHP would require some books and a hell of a lot of time learning PHP....seriously...I have some background using PHP but  since you haven't really started anything there would be nothing to discuss..

What I think you need to do in order to get a site up and running quickly is look into a CMS (content management system)...My fav is Drupal http://drupal.org

I use drupal on this site http://flight-simulator-cockpits.com

If your web server uses CPanel you can install it using fantastico...if not you will need to install it manually...setup isnt that bad and the documentation is really well written..

Once you have your CMS installed you can install modules to bring more function to the site..additionally you can install themes to customize the look of the site....

Once you start using the CMS you can look at that to learn how to program in php...

Just my opinion

Oh also Drupal is a free open source product
