Isn't sr one? I need a good example of one to show to my boss as I'm (possibly) being given the job of updating the current company one.

I need something dymanic, easy to update and easy to make style changes too.

It can be, but you should look out for built-in functions that do the work for you, rather than writing them yourself. There have been a few times where I've spent a while creating something which needed doing, only to find PHP's built-in library does it for me.

The entire forum system runs on PHP and MySQL, isn't that a good enough example?

It will make life far easier if you have a lot of products on your site, you can allow people to search, sort and view items easier. It can also look better when you're pulling stuff from a database instead of using a normal HTML page.

Most hosts provide at least one MySQL database with their package now, only the really cheap and nasty ones that don't give you any support of anything will make you pay extra.

That's the type of thing I'm looking for. I'm unsure if MySql is supported by our current host. PHP should be easy enough I imagine.

DOH! That's why ".php" features in the majority of links. That'll do.
