database changes
I have quite a large database of mountain bike reviews, trail reviews, crashes and buy and sell ads in a database in .sgm format. Each of these reviews is listed in a list on an index page. When someone wants to view the review, they click a link which a CGI script attaches a page top and bottom. My problem is that this method is quite annoying. For instance they are not sorted. What I would like to do is use a program such as links to manage the reviews while still using the .sgm files and plugging a page top and bottom to them. I would like to use the links script, or something like it so I can have some sort of admin functions ie. search, modify, delete etc. An example of my current setup at http://extreme.nas.net/...ewitem/completebikes If I'm being too vague, let me know and I can go into a little more detail. If you would like to see my posting and viewing scripts, let me and I'll post 'em. So if you have any ideas, please let me know as the larger my database gets, the uglier and messier it is.

Thanks in advance!

Its called sgml but the file extension is .sgm I didn't make the database that I'm using so you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge about it. It also uses MD5 which I guess is the method that it uses to create a file. Again, if you would like to see the posting and viewing scripts, just let me know.

Funny, funny Mark.
