Some advice on Databases

Post by Scotty501 »

Hi All,

Not sure if this falls into PHP - but I hope some of your experience people out there can give me some advice. I want to build a database online that users can upload via csv, xls etc and also search the same data. Just an online DB that users and use. Is this something that can be done utilising a phpbb? Ideally the users on my board can just upload the data, and also search the data.

Any advice?

No.

Make sure you you understand the difference between PHP (the scripting language),
and phpBB (the Bulletin Board program written in PHP).

There is no facility in phpBB to do what you ask, and I doubt there is a MOD to do it either.
The Knowledge Base contains solutions to many common problems!
How to fix "Doesn't have a default value" and "Incorrect string value: xxx for column 'post_text' " errors.
How to do a clean re-install of the latest phpBB3 version.

Thks for the reply. OK I will need to go external from PHP(BB) - which is a shame. It would have been nice to keep it under the same umbrella.

You may be able to do that. You can request a MOD in the MOD Requests forum.
I can stop all your spam. I can upgrade or update your Board. PM or email me. (Paid support)
