A user-accessible address book using php?
I still can't figure it all out.
I am trying to create a web page (using php, I think) where:
1) A visitor can add his or her name to an address book that can also be viewed online by other visitors to the website.
In creating this, I will also need to:
2) Allow that visitor to create a username and password to add his/her information.
3) Allow that visitor to make changes and updates to his or her entry in future visits to the website.
and...
4) Create an automated system for that user to retreive his/her username and/or password if s/he has forgotten it.
Boy oh boy, would I be happy just to be able to makje step #1 a reality.
Can anyone please help me with this? My server is a Linux system and I have php available to work with. And although I don't have any experience with it, I also have MySql available to me.
The example I can come close to is located at:

What you need is a database that uses PHP as the input+display. MySQL is the database you should use considering you have it. Check out http://codewalkers.com/tutorials/9/1.html
That's where I learned PHP\Database. The Tutorial is for a dynamic site, but you could easily adapt it.
