I started not knowing anything on PHP and MySQL. LQM is easy to learn and its all MySQL to start with and MySQL is easy. The output is all taken care of and no PHP.

Then I started a database project for students registration, course, results and payment module. It started rather simple with a registration form and from there add the subjects for each semester and grades. Learn a bit of PHP to customize the delearship template for print output of each semester results.

I have opted for LQM approach cause in time there will be a few thousands students and linking the tables to a form or other output query seems a good idea. I guess it can get as powerful as MySQL in future version, tho with the present 1.1 version is enough for my project and there are still some other LQM capabilities that I have not used due to my limited knowledge in PHP.

The forum is a good place for answers from toby and also from reading members post.

I am new to this db design but I think I got a usable product so says my users. Imagine, they were using excel microsoft before this.

I have been wanting to learn MySQL and PHP and somehow LQM makes it easy.
