I'll help as much as I have time for. I am experienced with php and mysql. Learning web dev (I'm really a Solaris sysadmin, though :-). <div>I'll watch for info on your posting. I've been away from the list for a while and I'm just catching up today.</div>

</span></font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif">I think I have posted this quite a while ago but it is
still on my mind. We currently configure the hosts, pages etc using a windows
database and windows front end that I wrote quite some time ago. I keep getting
the urge to convert it to a linux database and a web frontend. However I would
not do this if there is no interest in using it.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif">The
point is that you never touch the bb-hosts file and all configuration of hosts
and layouts is done via a user interface.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif">Is
there any interest in this?</span></font> <br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif">Is
there anyone willing to help?</span></font> <br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif">If
so I was going to convert to mysql and either php or perl cgi. Any comments on
this?</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif">We
have 400 odd hosts here and have pages split by priority, service, location,
and support group all on the front page but all configured via the database. </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif">Currently
the bb-hosts is built via a perl script that extracts the database and then
generates a main bb-hosts file plus include files for each sub-page.</span></font>
