Im about to start a site for about 40 themes and Im willing to add a search tool… the typical input text field with a “SEARCH” button which will look for the text within all same website files… :sigh:  
I plan to do it in Flash 8. Im not familiar with Data Bases.

Pls refer me to any tutorial which might help or suggest best way to approach.  
Thx

well, you gonna need to know how to use sendAndLoad in flash, the php functions to access a database, and i need to know a little bit more like, are you the dedicated host or are you buying space? because your gonna need to download php/mysql if your the dedicated host, and if not your going to have to contact the host and see if it supports php/mysql, or w/e combination you use
