Want a database just like the one in fifa.com

I dont even know if I'm in the right forum
Just wanted to know how would you be able to do something like the database of fifaworldcup.com website has.

For example, go here
http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/....html?team=ang

then go all the way down and under matches database, 'select a opponent' select any team and 'select competition' again select any, and then click 'display results'

so you get something like this
http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/...&tb=BFA&cl=all

How can I do something like this? Do I have to use MSSQL? (dont even know what this is )

Please please help.

It wont be easy unless you have some database knowledge. What type of database are you used to working with?

I will be honest with you...none

as smokie said, "What type of database are you used to working with?" also what platform (windows or linux) php or asp etc...

i suppose if you wanted somthing like the fifa site you could start with somthing simple at first, youll be amazed how quicj you pick up the basics.

Isn't their like a templet that would do the same exact thing as fifa whas?
So just adding the info?

And yes, it will be windows and I will probably work my MSSQL

well i seriosly doubt it will be a template. you could develop somthing very similar using asp.

as for databases, you could use access or mssql

Well thank you for your help guys.
I have given up on MSSQL. Just too complicated for me.

I came across something else: 2485

Ok, put your mouse over a country. Notice what the link is. Some sort of Javascript. Click on the country.

So what kind of java can do such a thing? That is not exactly what I want, but it pretty darn close. I'd love to know how to do that.

its a javascript popup - with the url to the specifc page:

you can easily acomplish this with javascript.

I understand that, but your telling me that he has a page for every singel country?!
If thats true then, their are 200 countries listed, with each country vs. about 100 countries, that would mean 200 x 100 = 20000 pages !?!??!

That doesnt sound right. He surely can't have a page for every single matchup.
Isn't it like some sort of java that automatically pulls data and puts it together or something?

By the way, thank you for your help and time

nooooo lol!

it will be a popup that uses a server side language, like php or asp. there will be one page and that page will gather the info.
for example:
view_country.php?country=germany
that one page would pul the information for germany and display it that page.

does that make sense? lol

It makes sense, but now how do you do it?
(I'm sorry, I am a beginner)

So whats this server side language? Just html it in a page and thats it?! (Will look up php and asp and see what are these all about)

Anything

either pay someone or read thru some books, theres loads out there. Sorry for the snappy comment, just readin this thread made me really annoyed...

sorry, for some reason i didnt get an email notification.

it can be done fairly easily...but again, its somthing u need to look at learning..pay me and ill do you one if your stuck...
