Hi all,
I must create a web page but I have no idea (yet) of writing html or php, so right now I'm lost in a bunch of acronyms and languages, and I don't know which one should I start to learn... so please, could you give me a recommendation?
The visitor to my web page should select an starting and ending date in a drop down list; these dates should be passed to a script; the script must select the data from an ascii database (a temporal evolution of a given parameter) and write the selected data in a new file; this new file should be plotted (with gnuplot); and finally the plots should be published in the website.
Right now it seems impossible to me, but I think I will struggle through these steps AT LEAST if I know where I have to start!!!
)) Should I use html with cgi? Does it worth to learn perl, or awk is enough? Should I start with html or php? MySQL?
Thanks from a (absolutely) confused newbie!!!
