net programming/database

[night]

ive been getting all kinds of emails about my cheesy little link page (for import car stuff). and its been nearly 2 years since ive touched it.
so im considering redoing it.
what is the bare minimum to do a database or sorts.
i would really like to make some sort of review and a submit system. dont need/want it to be complex at all. and for this its not necessary.
are there any programs i can get that can setup up a basic system for me, then i can tweak if i need to ?

If you mean like a news pages, this most likly.

What platform does you site run on?

hehe, its on freeservers right now 🙂.
i made it along time ago kinda on a whim.

right now i'd just like to see if its possible to do what i want. if i can actually build it, then i'll figure the rest out later.
if it might actually get some good traffic then i'll pay to have it hosted (with the hopes of breaking even)

This can be done in a number of ways. If you feel like writing your own scripts, you are basically free to choose what db and scripting language you use.

If it is a general news site such as slashdot.org - you could use the slashcode or phpnuke.

Personally, I would use PHP, Apache and MySQL (PgSQL if you need the extra features).
