How can I make an Archive for Press Releases?

My client has about 100 press releases they would like to upload to a database (of some sort)... something they can do themselves on their own time, but that I set up.

Does anyone know
A) if this is possible
B) what kind of code i need to use
C) if there is software that can do this for you

Please let me know asap!

Thanks so much!

This depends on what your host offers on the server. This is definitely possible as you're only wanting a script to add something to a database, but you'll need server-side scripting (such as ASP or PHP) and a database on the server (such as MySQL). You need to contact your host and find out what they support before you get started on the code you need.

hey ed- i will double check on that... so if there is a database available on the server, like MySQL... this might need a big answer, i dunno, but how does that work? I know they offer php, but i dont think that will be necessary for adding press releases to a database...

If they allow you to have a MySQL database, you just need to learn a bit of PHP to create what you need. So you'll have a script on your server which you will access. This will have a form where you can enter the press releases. On submitting this form, a PHP script will save the contents to a table in your database. Then you'll be able to use a differnet script to display the press releases from the database. A good place to start would be a PHP/MySQL tutorial, such as the one below:
