Hey,
I have an idea for a new website that I would like to implement.
Heres the basic rundown.
I will have a massive booklist and each entry will have a ton of data. For example, X book will be categorized by Name of book, ISBN, and 6 or so more categorial information. Be it you will, a very large excel table with about 10 columns of data for each entry. I want to make this table searchable (one box searches all columns) and return all entries.
I then want the las column in the results to have a rollover webpage (like in wordpress blogs) that will search multiple websites (amazon, abebooks, etc) and display a website within the rollover.
As of now, im thinking a simple MySQL table and a simple php script to search through the entries. I do not know how the rollover webpages will work though. Am i better off using some type of a CMS?
Thanks for any insight.
