Thanks for the info. I'm guessing my teacher is somewhat inept, considering I was told to do this today and have something completed by friday. I'm not insulting him but I believe that he is severely lacking good information. I'll tell him that this might take a few weeks, especially since I lack experience in php and other server side lanuages.
So essentially then.. mysql must be installed on a server at the school, then I use python to design a GUI? I didn't know that you could create gui's with it, and we just use php on our servers to display information on the page through .txt files I believe, I don't know much about it actually. Well my list of events may sound stupid and incorrect but I'm still trying to piece together the fragments so I can present the information to my teacher tomorrow. Thanks again.
edit: I didn't know php was powerful enough to design GUI's but I guess I was wrong. I found this while doing a bit of reading.
