A question To The Wise...

dear knowledgeable people...

 

i complete novice when comes coding begin in answering question relates structure of project needs proceed..

 

 

the basics are:

 

i have piece of audio broadcasting software.

the software plays music whoever wants listen across net.

when song played software updates mysql database.

the information sent database consists of data such “song name” “artist” etc.. etc..

 

what do:

 

i information sent web page (yet designed) , updated when change made database (i.e. upon song change) or updated @ logical times (maybe every 15 seconds).. either way important user viewing web page not have refresh page see new results database.

 

my understanding:

 

the way understand …

mysql stores information created broadcasting program.

then need php  script take information , store in logical way on server.

next need form of java take information , place onto web page user view. (i believe need java enables real-time updates without need refresh page manually)

that far have got..

 

what explain if process correct can go learning programming languages in structured way..

 

 

 

what know...

 

i have server set-up

it has, mysql+php+apache running , can access these programs/services.

i have managed copy/destroy , paste other peoples php work , able information mysql database.. i.e. “the played song” , “the last 6 played songs” , display them on screen.

 

where go here?. right in thinking structure correct... how big can of worms..

 

i hope can find time me head in right direction..

 

 

regards

 

justin..

it's big can of worms not impossible.

 

very few sites use java anymore.  think mean javascript, although i'm not sure why need it.  php can echo song info database tables.
