    I am a new user to WordPress and have very very limited to zero technical abilities. I would like to know if I could set up a database from which information can be received and fed to and set up something like http://www.imdb.com where users can retrieve data from a search box. I don’t have any idea how to deal with php though can follow simple instructions to do the required.

    Thank you.

    hi karanw,

    Well i guess what you want is send and receive the information from a table in database, if that is what you are expecting then the answer is yes you can do it..

    WordPress is ideal for this.

    You need to create a MySQL database and install WordPress to your server.

    I have already installed WordPress and am using it at http://www.photozeus.com. What I actually want to know is if I can set up something like a lyrics site which has a data on number of bands. I want to set up a site with data on many photographers which can be retrieved from the Database and NOT the archive posts by the user. Something like a database site.

    I’m really sorry but I don’t get you. Like mentioned above, I have limited technical skills.

    hi KaranW,
    what i meant was you can create database site. You can add content and also retrieve the content from database. I’m not talking about the technical aspect.

    Can I know how to? I tried doing stuff. I want to actually store some data of individual photographers and can be accessed by a registered user using search. Also, I can alter the data if there are any changes. How do I achieve that? Which plugin?
