Song Request Software?

[ChoaticWhisper]

Well I doubt anything like this has been made but I guess theres always a chance.
I'm going to have 3 computers networked and 2 of them are for nothing but selecting a "song title/artist/song ID" and then sending it to a main computer.
I thought maybe the song title/artist/song ID could be in a database and have a webserver running on the main computer, But is there anykinda webpage thing that can automaticly generate the pages cause I dont know how to write anything like that yet.
Then the person needs to be able to search for the song/artist/or ID and select one and send the ID and their name to the main computer.
If anyone knows of how all this would be done or anything that will do this kinda of stuff, I would really appreciate it.
Hopefully I wont have to learn to write all that my self.
Thanks in advance.

sorry, I haven't heard of anything like that, but here's a free bump...

You can make Data Access Pages in Microsoft Access from Forms, Reports, etc.

Are you saying you want to select a song, and have it start playing? If so, then you would have to use VB proper more than likely. Connect to an Access DB, and just make a form that can be accessed on your LAN.

yes, there is.

Sounds (lol) like client-server?

What purpose does 2 pcs serve to store data? Sounds like your 'main computer' needs more storage.

Hopefully I wont have to learn to write all that my self.

How did you learn to network 3 computers?

I guess all Im needing to do is setup a webserver on the main computer and it will hold the webpages and databases. When someone selects a song they need to beable to put their name in and it needs to send the song ID and name they put in to the main computer, So I guess it could just email it or something Im not sure how that would work.

Well from thinking about it alittle more All Im really wanting it something that can search, out a list of song titles and artitst and the song ID to a webpage, then I guess I could write/find a form that will send some data to the main PC.
In very shorten terms, Is there anything that will read data from database and output it to a webpage(that I can customize alittle bit)?
Two of the pcs or maybe one at first will be for the public, the main computer will be for the DJ.

I still don't understand.

Are you just making a database of song names and artist names, or a database of songs themselves, like mp3's?

[ChoaticWhisper]

Just
song name/artist/Song ID
and I need it to send some kind of msg to the main computer of what song was selected and the name of the person that selected it.
BTW, Thanks for the help so far.

read database
print page
------------------------------------------------------
░ Song Name --- Artist
░ Song Name --- Artist
░ etc,etc,etc....

Fill in name
_____________ ______
|_____________| |Submit|
------------------------------------------------------
Select Check boxs and fill in name
Submit sends song ID(each song has individual ID, That I can input.) to server.
Also I need to be able to search and list songs with the searched input to a page like above.

Well I think that explained it pretty well.

Im thinking Im going to have to use Mysql, PHP, and cgi/perl, Right?
Mysql for the database and php for the output pages and cgi/perl or maybe mysql to submit, Correct me if Im wrong and try to let me know how big of a project would this big?

[dragonb]

well, you wouldn't need both php and cgi together, they do basically the same thing. And if you don't know either, I think php is easier to learn.
It's not that big of a project, but starting from scratch would be hard.

If you use Access, you just use a Data Access page. It shows up in a web browser. First name a form, with feilds for User, Song, Artist, etc. Then run the wizard to make it into a data access page.
